    It’d amazing how these billionaires can push for this, when the example of Putin’s Russia or Xi’s China are right there, showing what happens when you have a government headed by an thin-skinned autocrat who might decide to take your money and your life, not necessarily in that order.

    Ask any one of a number of Russian oligarchs. You might need a Ouija board, of course.

      They would rather be afraid of one person that they think they can control than a population of people who can see through their bullshit.

      Being successfully greedy makes people pretty stupid in that they believe they’re untouchable.

      We as a country right now are going through a “it can’t happen here” with Hitler Trump and it’s no different for billionaires except their version is “it can’t happen to me, I’m special because I’m a billionaire.”
