    And with that 25% tax he would still have more money than he could ever spend. These billionaires are not humans, their ghouls. They deserve our hate.

      Buying politicians can get expensive. Wont you think of the poor billionaires that would have to cut down on their bribery if there were a wealth tax??

        Buying politicians is depressingly cheap. Like, on the order of tens of thousands of dollars or less. Firmly out of reach for the average citizen but for the power players that’s one good night out on a weekend.

      For them money is just a highscore. They either win or lose, the actual amount doesn’t matter at all.

      The asshole could spend a thousand lifetimes just lying on the beach and sipping cocktails and he’d still be a billionaire.
