Dr. Bradley J. SommerWhen we talk about how billionaires shouldn’t exist I don’t think people really understand the massive difference in scale between a million and a billion. One million seconds is 12 days. A billion seconds is 31 years. It’s an unfathomable amount of money that no one should have. Even uber-rich mega millionaires - hundreds of millions - really shouldn’t exist. We need to tax the rich; they’re the real free loaders. They’re the drains on the economy. They’re the ones dragging society down.
BigTheDave@drhistorybrad Recently I've taken to describing it as three tiers of wealth.
- Those that have to convince the bank to give them a loan (Most of us)
- Those that don't have to convince the bank to give them a loan (Millionaires)
- Those whose 'Net Worth' is so high that they use loans as pocket money (Ultra Rich)
