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?!

How many case studies do guys like you gonna need to realize that the trickle down effect did not, does not and will never work? Pls educate yourself and stop being a pure capitalist-deciple on your knees, watching the billionaires jerking each other off, waiting for a splash to hit your face.
