880 billion dollar for would literally be eliminating Medicaid, hope everyone who voted trump and Republicans are good with this, especially those who are poor and have kids with special needs.

    The thing I don’t really get is that we’ve got a few people on their way to being trillionaires. That’s more money and assets than the human brain is capable of fathoming, I can guarantee it. What’s even the point? Anything they could possibly want or need is provisioned for, they’ve got enough money to do all the fun little side projects their hearts desire, and they’ve still got far more money beyond that. They literally can’t even give it away fast enough if they tried. What on earth is more tax breaks for the wealthy going to achieve, even for the wealthy? It just feels pointlessly evil at this point.

        It’s a mental illness that is worshiped by an unfortunately large population of people.

      I think they’re like mold or cancer cells, or even a fire. You can’t decide to be a billionaire just like a plant species can’t decide to grow in crack in the pavement. It’s a system of interactions that decides that. Pure chance and a lot of failures that had as much right to succeed as any other.

      Billionaires are byproducts of our system weaved into a physical human body. It has a human life to confuse you and camouflage what it really is. It has a human brain and human emotions to generate reasons why it deserves to exist. It looks and feels like a person.

      Reminds me of mandrakes from Harry Potter. They scream like they’re alive but they’re just there to be harvested.

        Funnily enough, this is exactly how billionaires view us.

      Remember that those evil billionaires don’t actually care about the money itself. If they did, they would have stopped at $100 million or some much lower number, because that’s already more money than anyone could ever spend. To them it’s about power, prestige, and control. They are addicts, and they’ll never give up the chance for more.
