I’m much more interested in how billionaires’ power is ended.
“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.
Imagine how much more thought provoking and hard hitting this article would be if the Post wasn’t owned by a billionaire.
Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.
Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
Was it money? I bet they used their money to do it.
As they say, the best investment you can make in America is buying a politician.
Billionaires should be illegal - tax them out of existence.
…or just hunt them down like the savages into which they constantly seem to want us to transform.
I watched this video yesterday, it explains it pretty well: https://youtu.be/PpyPB3BF-hQ
In 3 stages: 100 million, 1 billion, 100 billion. The obscenity of it all and how, gradually, influence becomes more important than money to these people.
I feel like politics being influenced by the wealthy isn’t a recent development
So strange that this skyrocketed after 2010 🤔🤔🤔
“Money -> greed - > corruption -> power”
That’ll be one billion dollars. You’re welcome.

Tldr: naive American citizens lived their lives for them and funded them in exchange for escapism from the realities of what it authentically means to be human.
Lol, get fucked
