    Billionaires are generally the wealth creators, not drains. How many people do bezos and musk employ? How much tax do they, their companies, and their employees contribute?

      I want you to engage in good faith with this thought experiment.

      On one hand, you have Costco - many employees, no billionaires, all employees have good benefits, company pays its taxes. On the other you have Amazon - many employees, one billionaire, many employees are working poors, on snap or similar benefits. Amazon skirts its taxes as much as possible, while US subsidies its employees.

      Which one helps society the most as a whole?
