Apropos of nothing, more billionaires should live in fear of being pulled off their private jets and arrested.
@jwz Ideally no one should live in fear of being accused of a crime except for crooks.
@cgervasi @jwz *Appropriate* taxation would make being a billionaire at the present value of a dollar functionally require illegal conduct, so: exactly.
@cgervasi That's what @jwz said - billionaires.
@cgervasi @jwz You are just repeating the same thing he said
@[email protected] @jwz Good job! You know how to repeat the same thing as the initial post. Here's a treat! 🍬
@cgervasi @jwz Billionaires have broken the law in their own way to become billionaires, but not all of them.
@cgervasi @jwz All billionaires are criminals. Otherwise they wouldn't be billionaires

@cgervasi being a billionaire is indicative of numerous crimes, nobody earns a billion dollars, much less tens or hundreds of billions, you get there by robbing everyone

remember folks, far and away the most common form of theft is wage theft, and it is by far the least punished

@maxthyme @jwz If it's possible to create something worth $10M, why not 100s of millions or even billions?

@cgervasi is it possible for one person to invent, develop, produce, market, distribute, and sell something worth 10 million dollars?

How many things worth that many millions are even available to buy, because we're discussing stuff more like military expenditures or infrastructure projects. Know what would probably have a lot more money available if we were taxing the ultra wealthy and corporations properly? INFRASTRUCTURE!

@maxthyme @jwz Are you saying it is impossible to create something worth $10M. I'm asking be I thought you said the cutoff was in the $100M range.
@cgervasi I said no one earns a billion dollars, much less tens or hundreds of billions, and no, without the obscene distortion of billionaires there is no real market for multi million dollar products outside of governments
@maxthyme @jwz oh, for some reason I thought you said 10s of millions, but I see you said billions.
This is the one that got me to block 👍
@maxthyme Why are you still arguing with this bozo?
@jwz to help others formulate arguments that directly attack the absurd defenses billionaire defenders will throw out
