It’s crazy that we are in a time where actual billionaires are telling people with zero savings that both the elites are the problem and the poor hard working immigrants are also the problem

Meanwhile. In Croatia, a minister of Economy is telling people to bake their bread at home because they are complaining too much of how bread prices went up in the last year by 300%.
Billionaires are the modern day kings and queens. Europe is rich on history of what happens when those get greedy and don't want to share. And that's honestly a scary thought.
I want to see this picture where the cookies are actually proportionate. If the worker on the right has one cookie (let's say $100K to be generous), a billionaire with $10B will have 100,000 cookies, which is probably several truckloads.
Especially crazy when it's billionaires who are immigrants/descendants of recent immigrants who tell poor people that elites and immigrants are the problem.
If there is any confusion the billionaires are the problem. While I am not a billionaire, I do have access to a few and I’ve been lucky enough to spend time with some that aren’t nuts. I asked one of them “should billionaires exist” and he said
“of course not. I was super lucky. I worked hard but I was in the right place with the right opportunities of the right time. And that’s why I’m gonna give it all away. No one needs to have this much. Once it’s 9 figures it’s unlimited forever money and that’s crazy”
My thing is: all the billionaires we are talking about made their money from things we don't need. Like, I don't think anyone is complaining about the 'sewage treatment billionaires'.
If you can convince the working class you’re targeting illegal immigrants with your anti-working class policies then they will vote for you to do it. It’s the snake eating its own tail or whatever.
When they announced with the Giving Pledge to donate their money, I was actually quite enthusiastic about the future.
But looking at how others are fantasizing about living forever and being the first trillionaire, this hope slowly fades.

As they won't we should tax them appropriately.
