Says a wealth-hoarding, mass carbon-polluting asshole. His ethics and those of everyday people are vastly vastly different due to his inability to pay taxes.

Inability?
Larry Ellison pays less taxes than you because he is a parasite on society and we let him steal from us.
Yeah, right. His inability is a choice, an ethical one.
How about the billionaires? Any rules for them?
lol, no.
If the billionaires want the Chinese model for us, it's only fair they fall under that same model.
You know what? Seeing as how we're getting it anyway whether we like it or not, I think I'd voluntarily take the surveillance state and censorship if it comes with rich people getting absolutely stomped by the government when they get out of line.
Maybe we can adopt the Vietnamese model where that billionaire either pays back $9 billion of embezzled funds or gets executed.
If we can't have a real democracy with real freedom I at least want blood of vengeance to bathe in from time to time.

Fed into woodchippers like they deserve.
This is a reminder post. Remember when tech billionaire Larry Ellison said this?
On the 17th of September last year?
Oracle is one of the worst companies in history and it's products are ass.
ORACLE: One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison
Hey man, nice shot.
McNulty!
He says that the police will be under constant surveillance. They already are and they still get away with crimes. Unless being a criminal is a cops best behaviour.
I predict him... mistaken.
LOL! So republicans will stop committing crimes? Can't wait to see your son destroy CBS/Paramount.
Why do billionaires always look like creepy Madame Tussauds wax statues?
He's literally 80 years old. You can only do so much to hide your age before you start looking absurd.
while billionaires keep raping kids? yea no, go fuck yourself. this sounds like ravings of a person afraid of losing his possessions and life.

What a coinkidink!
I just predicted this morning that the way things are going his and his billionaire friend’s heads will be on pikes before the end of the decade
It will be declared an international monument that will be visited by schools for decades to come to learn about the importance of regular class wars to keep the parasites in check in a society.
A tzompantli of rich skulls is the dream! Would go great with our loofa vines!

Golly, sounds like it’s time to watch Larry Ellison a lot closer too.
Someone should Luigi this fuckwit
Can we have a crowd-sourced bounty system for billionaires? The more billions they have the higher the bounty. I think it would be a good investment of public funds and benefit mankind greatly.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Must be nice to say from your private Hawaiian island
Anyone who owns an island is a pedophile, no exceptions.
Truly nothing like Big Brother telling you he's gonna big brother you. And of course don't forget that those in power will never be subjected to this, it's only for the little peasants in case they may decide to not fully conform to their ideal society (wageslaving to make the rich richer until you drop dead)
Does he count as a citizen? Will he be surveilled also to keep him in line? Will it force them to be kind to their employees and not cheat them?
No. Laws don’t apply to oligarchs.
keep pushing Larry, we all dare you
The problem is that they do keep pushing. And getting away with it.
The 0.1% are like turbo hedonists. If they beat the population into being severe ascetics then the ones who stick out will be: elites, politicians, authorities, politicians, suck-ups, spoiled heirs, politicians, etc.
I think all the little things people "get to do" help contribute to the "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" mentality. Take that away and there's going to be significantly less tolerance for corruption.
And the elites will create a system where the only way to vote is to spill blood.
Isn't that literally the premise of 1984?
lol is this guy seriously discounting that people, fully non-anonymous and out in the public view, can be assholes?
Or that the current administration is holding up and defending a child rapist? Lmao.
Also discounting what the rest of our definitions of assholes are.
Melt face son and a bitch. You can't take that wealth with you scumbag.
Like hell I will. I’ll be free until the clankers come for me
Not that he had anything to do with it or anything.
Suck my best behaving ball
I'll throw in a low hanging hairy one as well.
