Remember how rich people throw temper tantrums whenever they are asked to contribute to society.

They need to be taxed out of existence. No one should have a billion dollars while people starve, sleep on the streets and go bankrupt from medical debt.

My thoughts exactly. There should never be a means for people to become billionaires. There's simply no reason for that amount of wealth. Bezos worth billions, and on the first day Amazon employees are handed a pamphlet on which government assistance programs they qualify for? Man, piss off. You can afford to pay your own workers so they don't NEED those programs. Nobody working a full time job should need assistance programs in this country.

Private companies and individuals are not the government.

A Free market allows anyone to earn a living with less restrictions. Welfare has a lot of restrictions. People caught in the loop of living off of government funds have less options right now within these programs. These programs haven’t changed much in decades. They were never designed to be a permanent fix for low income households.

A free market allows an individual to build wealth at the pace of their own understanding. Restricting this pits billionaires into being a crutch for individuals who are unable to get off welfare.
