What I mean is that if I ever amassed 1 billion, I would spend everything over the billion on social projects, dog shelters, medical research that is considered by for profits to be unprofitable. I would never have more than 1 billion as I would use the interest to fund things that would help as many people and animals as possible. If billionaires voluntarily did such things I would mind them less. Instead I support 100% tax on anything over 1 billion. As for the burning question do any of these billionaires contribute as much as they are rewarded? Hell no
To be clear. I don't support the existence of billionaires, but I might be more forgiving if the contributed to society in big ways. Instead their only interest seems to be getting richer.
I wouldn't trust one person to unilaterally decide which ways was best for them to contribute their stolen money back to society.
Maybe not, but that is democracy. We all choose one person to trust to make decisions for us.
Also unfairness and theft are not the same thing.
You are an idiot
Means a lot coming from you.
Keep crying
Seriously, it took you 2 weeks to come up with that burn? I mean it really made me reflect on my life, just like your first punishing reply so you can feel good that you've changed the world for the better...but I'll be going on with my life and forgetting you exist now.
