    Let me think for a second…which generation’s economic policies and political beliefs created the billionaires?

      It doesn’t matter. Stupid rage articles about evil boomers aren’t going to change anything. It’s a distraction. Yet another way to keep us fighting each other instead of the real enemy.

        Play the numbers game how you see fit.

        Seems easier to corral the under 50 vote in the same direction.

      Quite a few since the late 1800’s, if we are ignoring the specifics of “billionaire” and just focusing on people who have the most significant portion of the wealth. Rockefeller and Carnegie weren’t any different a hundred years ago, despite them not being billionaires in their day.

        People often completely disregard the value of money. (Mostly when it comes to our wages…)

        Sure it’s not a billion when referring to the old barons, but the purchasing power they held was still equivalent to billionaires of today.

      Rockefeller and Walton?
