Wholly agreed. There are no ethical billionaires. Fight me.
He is right.
Imagine a “billionaire” in the wild: An animal sitting on a vast horde of food that it could never eat while others starved around it … yea, it would not last long.
Imagine a “billionaire” in a living body. A corporate money making entity would basically be a cancer that had to be removed to save the life of the patient.
Good, I agree.
He has painted a target on his own back though and he should be careful, lest he gets JFK’d or RFK’d.
We shouldn’t. And he thinks that too. Cool.
I agree with him. there’s no morally good reason to be hoarding that much money
The super-wealthy are a cancer on society, and just like cancer, they suck up all of the resources while killing the patient.
This needs to become the mainstream opinion. Billionaires and ultra wealthy shouldn’t exist. There is no trickling down or any of that stolen wealth coming back into the hands of average people.
Greed needs to be treated as an addiction just like alcoholism or gambling.
Billionaires are a byproduct of the capitalist system. People will always try to hoard money. What governments should try is to appropriately tax people according to their wealth, material possessions, assets etc and not merely because they earn money beyond a certain arbitrary threshold. In order to do this governments have to spy on their own people. And this will make many people mad.
