Trey Parker and Matt Stone are probably two of the most courageous and talented satirist the world truly needs right now.
Props to them for being one of the only people who views Woke as something else other than just the cringe way of saying “Political Correctness”
Truly admirable and sagacious comedy CHADS!!!
Wow, yes they are billionaires… due to a deal with Paramount+ whom they just made a very public dig at in this name change.

My opinion is, they have to be willing to pay their taxes, and not be worse then your ‘average driver who only cuts people accidentally’ rather than a BMW driver. I would expect them to make some serious self-deprecating digs at being billionaires as well. Also Casa Bonita needs to go International!
(So at least Mark Cuban level of ‘don’t be evil’.)
Even Warren Buffet said something to the effect of, “Just tax me, I’m okay with that!”
There’s this sort of mythos that exists that if you’re a billionaire you’re automatically smarter, more capable and harder-working than everyone else.
It’s a myth, for sure. Most are not working physically harder than the guy scrubbing their excutive toilets, and making money is a very specific skill set. This is especially true for people who have primarily built wealth from investing, and/or came from generational wealth. If you have a lot of money, you either won the lottery, or you are really good at amassing wealth, along with being blessed by favorable circumstances.
I think the billionaires who get this separate themselves from the evil exploitative assholes who only want to ruin the world for profit, while paying 0% taxes. It’s not an ego thing for them. While I still oppose a system that allows people to amass $1 billion of assets, sufficiently taxing the wealthy would be a good start.
