    “If you’re a billionaire, you want to stay a billionaire,” said Catsimatidis, whose net worth is estimated at $4.5 billion. It’s not just about his own wealth, he said, adding, “I worry about America and the way of life we have.”

    Great news!

    We can take 3.5 billion dollars from him, and he’d still stay a billionaire…

    And it would help Americans and bring us closer to the better life we used to have.

      I almost downvoted you for that horrible quote. Visceral reaction of disgust.

      This type of delusion seems pretty much unavoidable once you become one.

        Once you start playing the game (building capital rather than enjoying life) there is only one goal, one activity, one focus… Build more wealth. It’s all a game and they hate losing points probably more than regular people hate losing the money that sustains their life.
