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.
Michael Bacon@drhistorybrad This is one of my problems with Pritzker as a candidate for anything. Anyone who's a billionaire and wants to be respected for anything they don't pay for, start by becoming not-a-billionaire.
Get your personal wealth down to $950 million and keep it there. That's an obscene amount of money for anyone to have but it's a decent ceiling.
Just get rid of that money, it's bad for you and it's bad for the world for you to have it.
