Bill Burr has shared his candid thoughts on the current state of America, particularly focusing on billionaires.
Earlier this week, the comedian took to his podcast to express his views on the influence of billionaires in the United States, and he didn’t hold back…
His remarks sparked a mix of reactions on social media. Some users agreed with him, saying he’s ‘f**king right,’ while others criticized his perspective as ‘completely misguided.’ One commenter remarked: “There is a lot of work being done and Bill is doing none of it.”
During his Monday Morning Podcast, Burr stated: “The amount of people who are struggling out there because of these f**king billionaires.
“And they got us all arguing, liberal and conservative, we gotta stop doing that.
“Like I am so tired of hearing about people going to bed worried about what is going to happen next week.
“There is so much f**king money in this country and there is so much work being done, you know.
“And if you work a full f**king week at a job, you should be able to pay your f**king rent.
“You shouldn’t have to go out and get another f**king job and still be struggling.”
Burr further elaborated on his comments, leading to the most controversial part of his rant.
He added: “It’s bad for the country because then the kids don’t see their parents so they are not getting the upbringing that they need.
“These f**king billionaires, they need to be put down like rabid dogs, they are like rabid with f**king greed, just going out and dividing everybody.”
While most listeners didn’t interpret Burr’s words as a literal call to action against billionaires, many questioned his role as a spokesperson for this viewpoint, considering his own wealth estimated at $20 million.
His remarks ignited heated discussions on social media, with various people sharing their opinions.
One individual commented: “Hey Bill, I don’t even have $200K to my name. Maybe donate to me if you feel like rich people need to help out… oh wait, you’re probably one of those ‘as long as it’s not my money, it should be handed out freely’ people huh.”
Another user added: “It’s the politicians not the billionaires. Now some of them are evil. But, politicians make the laws that create this. Bill Burr biggest disappointment of the last couple years.”
Conversely, some sided with Burr, with one person saying: “Exactly. For years the rebuttal has been ‘work harder’, ‘get more skilled’, ‘they don’t deserve’ because of whatever reason and now we come to find out, they were just stealing it.
Another supporter commented: “I love Bill Burr because he talks the truth. The rich elite need to be brought down a peg or two.”
