I'm 50/50 on it.

An overwhelming amount of them are self-serving and would burn the world down to maintain their wealth.

After a certain point wealth becomes redundant and it's more about power and power corrupts, especially when collectively 1% has50% or 80% of wealth or some absurd shyt.

unless you're a billionaire, there's no reason for you to say no to this question

elon musk could buy Sierra Leone 5 times over and still be the richest man in the world.

bill gates makes more in a day than most americans will earn in their ENTIRE lifetime

how can people like this be allowed to exist

They shouldn't exist.

Once you have a certain amount of wealth, it is no longer about comforts. They can afford a nice house, butler, maid, clothes, trinkets etc.

It becomes about influence, stamping their vision on the world. That, in my honest opinion, goes against the principles of democracy and sovereignty.
Precisely. Look at the havoc billionaires like Rupert murdoch,Peter thiel,Elon,Koch etc are wrecking on the world:scust:

Bill makes over $10 million per day. When you say most Americans, That's more like 99 percent of Americans, which is mind boggling

They should be allowed to exist, but they should be required to have a higher floor when it comes to the pay of their employee's.
Crazy having a billionaire CEO, and then they have employee's making minimum wage.

They should be made to pay their employees more and be taxed much higher than that are.

If I ever made it to billionaire status I would have a problem with someone telling me I couldn’t have what I worked hard for.

The problem with that much wealth is that corrupts it’s never acquired in a moral and just manner. If you’re a billionaire chances are you’ve had to cut throat some people and play the game dirty to get there.

How much of that $10 million does he take home vs. Taxes & Business expenses?

This is exactly why nobody takes us seriously.

If they made the money without breaking any laws no problem. It’s immoral to have people worth over $100 billion though and you have poor people sleeping on the streets (not just bums people that actually have an income but housing is so ridiculous they can’t get a spot)

I don't have an issue with billionaires per se. But more so that they don't pay their fair share. If you see what millionaires were taxed 50+ years ago its crazy.

Also part of the problem is that America treats Billionaires like Demigods.
