Billionaires should not be possible

The fact that there are so many are clear indications the system is broken

1 is too many.

@stux @stux For the back row, struggling with the amounts…
#NoBillionaires

An infographic illustrating the size comparison of a billion one-dollar bills. It shows a stack reaching 68 miles high, with annotations for one million dollars at 358 feet and one thousand dollars represented by a small stack.

@stux
The fact that anyone could be desiring of such obscene wealth whist failing to understand the potential value of a better future for all, is at the heart of the human tragedy and the reason why the Fermi Paradox is so existentially un-navigable.

Billionaire wealth is unmerited.

@stux
It's a symptom of not enough stock holders having a direct impact on companies & boards of directors, because too many stocks are held by ETFs & investment funds, so the individual stockholders lose touch. It has to be addressed in such a way so that ETF holders have a say in the direction companies take & the salaries & stock options given out

@stux I loved AOCs line that billionaires are a policy failure. Indeed.

@stux the big issue is, from an income perspective, they have enough loopholes to not be “billionaires” from a tax perspective. Yes, billionaires should not exist, but at the very fucking least, we HAVE to close these tax loopholes! If they borrow based on their worth and use that as non-taxable income, fix this!!

@stux Exactly! And sometimes it’s difficult for me to understand why some people can’t see it.

Billionaires are societal cancer. They’ll take more and more from their host, until everything dies. And as cancer, they need to be removed. Tax them to extinction!

Billionaires are cancer, taxes are the treatment. For a healthier humanity, they need to go.

It is not broken, it is a purpose :

@stux

taxation is the only force upon this Earth that can turn a billionaire into a human being.

billionaire interests have been heavily represented forever. therefore they need to be taxed heavily and forever.

@stux the point is, it was never made to serve the interests of the people. maybe i might be somewhat wrong about the part of the world you live at, but over here, it definitely is the case.
