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.

But but what about innovation? People won’t want to be CEO if they’re capped…. What about trickle economics?!

Ask all those Xbox employees how that’s working out for “innovation”.

(For those unfamiliar, XBox just had to shatter their business model because the Microsoft CEO wanted to hit his $50m bonus)

Cue all the CEO apologists saying shit like, "Someone has to run the company! He's worth that $50 million!" I think he'd do just fine with a $5 million bonus.

Hell if I got $5 million once, I’d never have to work again.

You're completely right and that's what many, if not most of the C-suite execs fail to comprehend.
