Actual conversation I had…
Me: Billionaire philanthropy is nothing more than PR. Tax billionaires.
Troll: Lol you trust the Govt to spend our money?
Me: Yes, the Govt is elected by We the People, and therefore is accountable to us and can be voted out.
Troll: Govt is bought.
Me: Bought by who?
Troll: By billionai—...😳
Me: ...🤔
Troll: Ok, Tax billionaires.

Agreed. Every billionaire represents a failure of public policy. Billionaires aren’t part of the solution. They are part of the problem.
Let me make my position clear. Economic structures and laws that allow a single unelected, unaccountable individual (or family) sole control over significant national wealth is as foolish and ultimately unproductive as the old hereditary monarchy system of governance.
