The fact that Musk has lost $100B over the last month but is still the wealthiest person on Earth and financially unharmed in the slightest—all while wealth and income inequality is worse now than it was after the Great Depression—is Exhibit A on why we need to tax billionaires out of existence.
@QasimRashid The numbers are so huge I think they break the average person's imagination so they just tune them out. How can anyone possibly think he earned or deserves that but the person making their life easier by delivering their takeout order for a delivery app doesn't deserve basic food, clothing and shelter and just needs to work harder or be "smarter"/more greedy?
@PedestrianError @QasimRashid thinking about owning a house or at least a flat and that most people need to make debt that they work for 30+years can bring this into perspective. If you double the price you double the debt and the time it needs. So you recognize fast how much time some millions will take. And than you think about multi millionaires or even more and you should get an overwhelming feeling in your gut that something is not right.
