Should there be billionaires?

[Donnyboy]

He's a best selling author. You want to be rich-get a book on the NYT bestseller list.

He owned three homes before he wrote a book

Would you prefer he live in a 1 bedroom apartment and drive an '05 Malibu to the office?

No, I'd prefer he not be a multi-millionaire crying about billionaires when the only thing he has contributed is being a career politician.

He's worth like 3 million. Not chump change by any means but let's not pretend hes griping about the rich from his yacht.

I think you are more concerned with the letter next to his name (or lack of the right one in his case) than anything else. You seem more concerned about his words than the actions of others in power who make his net worth off our backs in an afternoon.

Think what you want. IDGAF what letter is next to their name, any republican career multimillionaire who cries about someone else having too much money can kick rocks too.

I think your concern is who said something about your socialist hypocrite.
Am I playing your game right?

So it's not about them enriching themselves. It's about them saying they want to help the little guy when they have a 7 figure net worth. But we ignore the people with the 9 and 10 figure net worths because they seem to be pretty open about screwing the rest of us but hey at least they are honest about it?

This is like arguing with my ex wife.

He is worth ~$3 million at age 88.

How much does one need to retire?

I will give Bernie credit. He does believe what he says and he is consistent in messaging (nobody in history has said the word “oligarchy” as much as Bernie).

However, he fans the flames of class warfare and conveniently never states that the rich already pay an enormous amount in taxes.

People who are wealthy are “Screwing the rest of us”???

You just keep showing who you are and that you are for a team not for this country.

If you used your political authority to run a pump and dump crypto scheme then yes you are screwing the rest of us. If you are accepting bribes from foreign governments then yes. If you are using insider knowledge as a politician to trade stocks yes as well.

If you write a book, probably not.

Your three sentences are all crimes. Anyone doing those should be charged.

But that is just saying squirrel. That has nothing to do with the federal government taking more from people that earn the money.
