There should be no billionaires in government—full stop. Someone who is a billionaire is definitionally not in a position to understand the life of an average voter and—more than this and equally definitionally—has exactly the wrong relationship with the ways the American financial system is broken.

There are at least 11 billionaires among Trump's Cabinet picks—and that doesn't include Elon Musk or Vivek Ramaswamy.

And because of Elon and the Oligarchs taking over….Cap The Rich as well. Earnings over one billion must go to pay for all services like Social Security.

Want to be a big business billionaire? Stay out of politics. Want to be a politician? Stay out of big business.
These boundaries need to be established to prevent the corruption of government and society.

It's not how much money you have that defines you, but what you do with it.
Most of them become bigger assholes...
The MAGA voter supports the cruelty of this thinking because they find it more empowering to hold the billionaires whip than be at the end of it.

All citizens should be empowered to participate in govt.
The problem here is trump is building a govt of low integrity, possibly criminal billionaires with a history of self serving beaviour

Maybe I haven’t been paying attention. Or maybe it’s a vocabulary issue. I haven’t noticed any conservatives mixed up in corruption either.
The 11 billionaires at the least lhold more than 120x the wealth than the 77mil. Americans who elected the 🍊. Corrupt and broken.
Becoming a billionaire should restrict you from everything but voting.
Full stop!
Some consequences, ever, may have been a useful deterrent.
Too many powerful people above the law.

"Billionaire" defined as: a person who is selfish and narcissistic and has immense contempt for society: who hoards wealth so that it can not be obtained by the vast majority of people in that society.
