MAHONIA STAGHORN, 23, GREENPOINT

SOUND OF THE SIDEWALK: Should we tax the rich?
Yes.
[Pause] Why?
Because it’s the right thing to do.
[Pause] Why?
Our capitalist system is set up so the bloodsucking greedy cocksucking bastard asshole scumsucking evil jerkoff oligarchic right-wing brainsucking rich have all the toys and we get the crumbs. It’s not fair.
Why isn’t it fair? When is the last time you paid taxes?
I’ve never paid taxes. They aren’t fair.

 




BELINDA CREAMPIE, 21, ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS

SOUND OF THE SIDEWALK: Should we tax the rich?
Yes. Then we should kill them.
Isn’t that a little harsh?
No. They deserve it. They’re evil.
When you use the word “evil,” don’t you wind up sounding like a Christian?
No. Christians are evil, too.

 




MARLEY KRUSTBERGER, 19, EAST NEW YORK

SOUND OF THE SIDEWALK: Should we tax the rich?
Duh!
“Duh”?
Yeah, duh! If we don’t tax the rich, who the fuck’s going to feed my dogs?
Why are your dogs their responsibility?
Because that’s what the Bible says.
You believe in the Bible?
No. Christians are evil.

 




KEVIN “LAND SHARK” EAGLEMORTON, 37, YONKERS

SOUND OF THE SIDEWALK: Should we tax the rich?
What are you—some kind of paid mouthpiece for corporate power?
Excuse me?
Tell me—how does their dick taste?
Whose dick?
The dick of the rich.
I’m not following you.
Don’t play coy with me. Your question was obviously drafted by a right-wing think tank and was designed to entrap, humiliate, mock, and disempower me.
Actually, it was just a simple, honest question.
Sure. And how much are they paying you to ask it?
“They” aren’t paying me anything.
Then you’re even a bigger fool than I thought.
Do you think that insulting people is really the best way to persuade them to adopt your side?
If you weren’t a bootlicking obsequious corporate pony-boy kulak middle-class griftopian robber-baron-apologist moral defective, you wouldn’t be asking that question.

    Your one sided and likely edited interviews with random gutter punks are pretty pathetic. We should tax the rich because the bourgeoisie has long exploited the proletariat through wage slavery. May I suggest the seminal Anarchist work “What Is Property” by Pierre Joseph Proudhon?

    The only thing funny about this bit is the names you’ve given them

    how’d you pics of all my friends?

  6. fffffffffffffff says:

    these articles are the worst. look at this fucking hipster– without any jokes.

  7. Brock Samson says:

    What about these gems that are rich in spirit?

  8. derka derka says:

    i bet those two dogs smell better than than marley’s genitals. and are probably cleaner too. it should be considered animal cruelty for crusties (lets just call them shitties from now on) to own “pets”. take them to the humane society and let the poor creatures have a chance at finding a stable home.

  9. Sniffy says:

    Punks are so edgy.

  10. inquiring mindz says:

    rich is the new punk. doye

  11. taco puncherface says:

    clearly, homeless people are assholes. they also seem to have a deep vocabulary that is no doubt going to waste haggling for heroin or bananas or whatever.

  12. Miss universe says:

    @derka derka, far be it from me to defend those types, but honestly i don’t think yuppies who lock their dogs up inside for 10 hours a day then walk them around the block are better. At least those people spend time loving their dogs and they get to be outside.

  13. Uncle Wah Wah says:

    I don’t think there is enough money out there to help these dopes.

  14. hmm says:

    dont you mean should they get taxed more?

    i dont think so, we purposely buy their products and complain that we have no money

    oh yeah i forgot that we have no choice *rolls eyes*

  15. derka derka says:

    @Miss universe

    Yes. Self-centered yuppies that are hardly home are just as bad. At least they are providing a stable home with a steady supply of food and water. Shitties choose to live a lifestyle that is hard and based around self-reliance. If they don’t hustle they don’t survive. Forcing another living creature to endure that type of lifestyle is selfish and unfair. I’d venture to guess that given a choice, a dog would rather be lonely, but fat and comfortable than befriended, but also perpetually filthy and undernourished.

    Yuppies get dogs to feel less lonely and prove that there is more to their life than money and success. Shitties get dogs to feel less lonely and prove that there is more to their life than scabies and terrible punk music.

  16. Barack Hussein Obama says:

    hippies and yuppies should all go into concentration camps.

  17. Rick says:

    Shit….EEUU is a right-winged, imperialist piece of shit. A country full of compulsive buyers, hyper obese compulsive eaters, and a huge list of most repulsive human bahavior. You pretend that you live in a free country, lol, that is the funniest joke in human history. You are belligerent, hypocrites, xenophobes…

    YES, the rich should pay more taxes. An ideal country have neither riches nor poverty, and ur country is not ideal at all.

    Fuck FMI, fuck Wall Street, and FUCK U(SA).

  18. allo? allo? says:

    these are fake

  19. Gigantic Faggot says:

    @Rick

    “An ideal country have neither riches nor poverty”

    You do realise that in order to have that you would have to embark on mass social and economic engineering? You do realise that that would mean surrendering all power and freedom to some authority? You do realise that what you’re talking about is…I hate to say it…Communism? I’m startled by how many people my age can’t seem to tell the difference between Anarchism and Communism.

    I also think it’s hilarious that crusties think they are living “self-reliant” lives, that they’re off the grid and existing outside of the system, when in fact they’re merely living off the scraps of the system and couldn’t survive without it.

    Made up interviews or not – worst subculture ever.
