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.

@QasimRashid
I’ve had similar discussions.

Them: You can’t trust government. Private sector is always better.

Me: But you can vote out gov leaders. How do you hold companies accountable?

Them: I just don’t buy from them

Me: And when they have a monopoly or cartel?

Them: Then we pass a law.

Me: WHO passes the laws?
