I got attacked over the years, when I said "Make billionaires impossible - they are the cancer in our society!", because people believe in the "meritocracy" nonsense. As if one person could do something with a days worth of work, every day, to make a billion a year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPoX... - ThreadSky

Is that you in the thumbnail for the video?

Nope, that's a british millionaire who fights for the poor and against wealth inequality. He has great insights into the matter and tells us what to do to mitigate or even make away with this inequality. His warnings are dire though.

You can see my face on my thumbnail.

You were right. Also meritocracy has never existed. It was always a lie to keep people working harder than they should be for people who don’t give a fuck about them.

I don’t care if there are billionaires or quadrillionaires as long as everyone has food, clothing, home, healthcare, education, securities and all the other social programs human civilization needs.

It’s the wealth gap and system errors that are the problem, but party of that is human error.

The problem is: Billionaires can exist specifically because of the wealth inequality. You will have less food, less housing, less healthcare and less education because the Billionaires can game the system in their favor and take everything they can... from us.

So that sympton is also the problem.

I believe in Income caps and improved tax brackets to prevent & mitigate that. The current administration is reducing the capabilities of the IRS and Legislature to tax appropriately though and in true nature of anti-constitutional facism, reduce the value of the dollar and protections of all.

You were absolutely right over the years and now more people are figuring it out.
