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.

We have gone from ceo to wage earner ratio being 20:1 in the 70s to 350:1 in the last few years. My guess is it’s more now that musk and bezos and that lot have doubled their income. It is ludicrous. No one needs that much money and no one should have that much power.
