We’ve allowed ourselves to be bought out and sold by the worlds richest man… it’s disgusting. They should cap the amount of money one person can have to 1B at the most but our government is useless
I don't think the issue is having billionaires, I think that they aren't held to the same responsibilities as everyone else and that allows them a level of freedom allowing them to be/become detached from reality or morally bankrupt.
That's just my opinion, I am not as educated as you, though, so 🤷🏻♂️
You cannot amass that kind of wealth without being a sociopath. It's physically impossible. Normal people can't achieve that kind of money because we'd spend it all trying to unfuck the world as much as we could.
The reason so many people support tax cuts for the rich is because they think they will be that rich one day. Too many people that live in the middle of nowhere think they will be the next duck dynasty or something and be making millions. That's not how it works at all.
Except for Warren Buffett. I ‘think’ he’s a really good guy. Can’t vouch for the others. Basically, I see no need for any of them to have so much (exception: WB). Children and adults are starving and homeless through no fault of their own. There is a worldwide clean water shortage. Can be fixed.
So many people say that but then want to walk it back a little or make exceptions for the billionaires they personally find appealing (Taylor Swift & Mark Cuban often get excused, for example)
Counterpoint, we need an alternate economic paradigm that makes money worthless, such that everyone becomes a billionaire through the resulting inflation.

Know why history repeats itself?
It's because if left unchecked, greed makes fools of us all.

Feed him to the pigs.
And prevent individuals from wielding immense power general.
Humans dominating other humans has always led to suffering and injustice.
