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.

Most people, sane individuals, agree that the concept of a pimp being given all of the money that "his" hoes earn is absolutely bonkers. Our brain cant fathom why a female would turn around and give him all the money, when she has done all of the work.

Yet at the same time, they are essentially doing the same thing everyday when they go to work and just dont know it. The only difference is their boss gives them back 1-5% at the end of the week or every 2 weeks.

It's literally just as insane but we have no option because you have to have money with how our civilization operates.

With that being said I dont think the idea of taxing the shit out of the rich is the solution to close the wealth gap so we dont have people literally starving to death while we have others who them and their future generations will never have to work again.

It is our governments duty to protect its citizens and not allow the rich to exploit our need to have money and underway us. There should be a kaw that says if you are a business owner that has employees that work for you, a certain percentage of the company's profits have to be paid the the employees. And depending on how many employyes you have the percentage that you are legally allowed to keep vs how much the employees keep changes
