What does this term of speech mean: "stat".

Here it is used like this: so those miserly rich people better start paying up their even bigger fair share, stat!

Anyone know? Some jargon I'm not familiar with.

Short form for Statim, which is Latin for ‘immediately’.

Meaning: asap, right away, without delay, pronto.
