    Communism doesn’t work. Socialism doesn’t work. Democratic Socilaism doesn’t work. History has showed this time and time again.

    The ideas of free markets and the adoption of Capitalism in the United States has advanced worldwide society in so many ways.

    Y’all wouldn’t even have an internet to spread your incompetence if it wasn’t for Capitalism.

    good on em, there's dipshits all over the world. whether they inherit money, or the entirety of North Korea. fuckheads will exist. it would be great if the 2/3rds gave back their un-earned billions but they wont, so in the meantime upper/middle/lower class people have something to aspire to be. (If you go out and EARN what somebody was GIVEN. you will feel like you just son'd that n----- for the rest of their life.)

    I don’t think some people realise just how much a billion is

    If you were counting £1million at the rate of £1 per second, it’d take you ~12days

    Do the same for £1billion, & it’d take you ~32 years

    Obviously no-one needs that much money, but some have earned it & are doing good with it. In an idealistic world they’d redistribute their wealth for the betterment of others in worse situations, but life isn’t fair.

    The government shouldn’t tax billionaires out of existence... The government should heavily invest more in education. Most billionaires had the foundation and basis to become one. It’s not the government’s job to steal from the rich and give to the poor. You put a cap on billionaires and you’ll see them leave that country, which will cause for people to loose their jobs, homes, and ultimetaly you will see less innovation together with prices going up.

    In my opinion, it should be their job to educate everyone so they can have a fair chance of making a living or even one day becoming a billionaire.

    Even the ones that have “done good with it” are still hurting working-class people in the long run. Creating a foundation, donating money, building a school etc. is all cool & stuff but taxing them more & increasing tax revenue would benefit the general public more than Elon Musk trying to go to mars.

    As someone who makes upwards of 250,000 a year I can’t logically see a need for someone to have billions of dollars.

    I also can’t in my mind see a logical scenario where it’s acceptable to take their money away.
