I’m sure that people with massive hoards of wealth (only attainable through massive human suffering on an industrial scale) has never been a benefit or detriment to me at all!
Correct, our problems are due to HOW they became billionaires.

Billionaires existing is proof positive how bad capitalism can be when left unchecked. And lord knows it’s been going rampant for too long now without any effective regulation.

Like Bezos recently buying 50billion of single family homes? Yeah wonder why so many of us are working homeless.

Using their money to destroy the United States is certainly a problem for the average person.

I have a libertarian joke. Ayn Rand, Rand Paul, and Paul Ryan all walk into a libertarian bar. Everyone dies of alcohol poisoning because there were no regulations. The end.

Ok fine, none of my PERSONAL problems are the fault of billionaires.
But ALL of our collective problems are absolutely the fault of greedy motherfuckers. Hope that clears this up. And nice try.

No billionaires exist without being/having been a total pain in the balls to a ton of people…
Chuck Feeney is a total legend that understood the assignment of being a Billionaire

Using Lisa Simpson for this is so ironic.

People like this actually believe that wealth is completely unrelated to natural resources and thus, infinite.
They are, of course, idiots.

If 6 percent of a country has more accumulated wealth than the rest of the country combined I would say yes, that is a problem. Make a toast 🥂 for glass ceilings… not to be a communist or anything

But redistributing some of their money toward the public good (education, heath care, housing, child care, infrastructure) would solve a lot of them, for majority. And the rest would benefit indirectly.

I used to think this but since Gary Stevenson explained this it just fucking clicked.
There’s a reason shit has been going downhill for decades even after endless changes and why house prices are rising worldwide and why governments are broke as fuck and why people have less and less money
It’s because more and more money is ending up in the hands of a few, more and more of our jobs are from huge companies. It’s bad now but it definitely gets a lot worse but this has been a linear problem getting worse and worse. Best you can do is plan if you know the outcome.

It’s technically the truth.
You don’t have problems BECAUSE someone else is a billionaire. It is usually the same reason someone became billionaire, or because a billionaire decided that you don’t matter….

Yeah no. All of our problems are because billionaires refuse to fix the problems they create. Then they tell us it’s up to us with patronizing bullshit like using metal straws and reusable bags lol
Which does fuck all to combat their lunacy

People like this poster just want to lick the boots of every powerful person and do mental gymnastics to justify one person hoarding so much wealth, for one massively delusional reason – they think that they too are only one lucky break away from being mega rich. Even if they won’t admit it, these people will support policies that actively hurt them, but help billionaires, because they’re convinced themselves that they’re on the way to amassing a billion dollars
It’s fucking pathetic, and it enables the wealth disparity shit we see today in society

There are 3,194 billionaires in the world and 756 in America.
There are too many people hoarding wealth that is not being actively circulated, and money only has value to society when it is exchanged for actual goods.
Libertarians don’t know shit about the economy.

This is false. No one ever talks about how it’s impossible for a single person to break into the mega industries like cars and oil. It seems laughable to even say, but it also does not reflect in any way the ability or skill of the people running those industries today, they were just born into wealth. It’s monarchies by another name.
