Maybe billionaires should get a real job that contributes.

    Economically speaking, billionaires are absolutely a terrible thing. It removes wealth from circulation and is counter productive to societal growth goals. One of the reasons we’re constantly “printing money” is so that we can ensure there’s enough of it in circulation and used by the masses after the wealthy extract their portion and remove it from general circulation.

    Economies work best when money isn’t hoarded or stashed away, but circulating fluidly throughout the economy. Billionaires are counter-thesis to this.

      I agree with this completely, I can tell my reply is being heavily misinterpreted.

        If every reply you post are misinterpreted according to you, then the problem is either you cannot communicate your idea well, or your point of view is the problem.

          Valid possibility, equally valid but conveniently left out:

          • Echo chamber
          • Polorizing political landscape
          • “Downvotes must mean everyone agrees this bad” aka groupthink

          Life isn’t an if-then statement let me tell you that much.

              And since you’re so eager to project your negative feelings towards billionaires on me, I’ll assume you’re suffering all three of my points.

              Wasn’t this a delightfully useless conversation? Two strangers being divided over the same hatred toward mass wealth accumulation. When you hear the quote “divide and conquer”, think of this conversation.
