I’m all for trashing Healthcare CEO billionaires, but dammit… TayTay earns her money and doesn’t intentionally kill anyone doing it.

Well, apart from the fact that she mostly doesn’t actually sing in her concerts (and when she does, it’s heavily Autotuned), and her band doesn’t actually play.

70% of people so far who voted on my comment understood that I was being sarcastic. Not a bad hit rate, all things considered.

Capitalism is a system based on exploitation. She takes far, far, far more than her fair share, leading to others losing out.

It’s it odd how the media picks and chooses who to call out on making “too much” money.

She must be the wrong type of millionaire or something

She isn’t one at all, she’s a billionaire, and she’s definitely not a fucking victim.

If anything, it’s her fellow billionaires not getting enough shit, not her getting too much.

She is a paper billionaire. She is worth all that money if she sells the rights to all her songs, which she just remade to reclaim her rights to those songs, so she isn’t interested in selling.

She might be worth a lot, but she doesn’t have thatmuch because autonomy is worth more to her than money.

She’s not hurting, that’s for sure, but she doesn’t have money like people say.

Even if she did have the cash, she’s an artist who makes things that people love. You don’t need her art to live like you do healthcare and food so as much as I hate billionaires, she’s not anywhere near the same level of bad

Every billionaire is a paper billionaire. Like the others, she can borrow against the value of her assets.

The boot being pink and glittery doesn’t make you any less of a bootlicker…

Look at it realistically.

She’s not living a better life style than Frank Sinatra or Micheal Jackson did in their heyday.

It’s not about how much money you have. It’s owner class vs working class. And even in the case of owner class, I would say that when the thing you own and make money from is yourself and your own image, that’s very different from owning the fruits of other people’s labour.

Yeah? She isn’t billing you monthly.

You don’t have to buy anything from her.

What amount of work have you put into anything that people are willing to pay you for. I guarantee it’s not as much as Swift or the few other acts like her.

Hey she’s actually doing something. There are plenty of other extremely rich people they could have talked about but for some reason they chose her.

Who gives a shit what this one is “doing differently”?

She represents a cancerous concentration of wealth - fuck her and the rest of them.
