no it’s a bunch of lazy entitled retards complaining about people who deserve the money they have because of the problems they have solved for humanity. They can spend their money however they please, and many exorbitantly rich people are humanitarians, even though they don’t need to. Nobody’s stopping you from making your bag but unfortunately many people aren’t patient enough to stop spending their entire paycheck as soon as they get it.

The mindset behind the people posting on social media like in pic related baffles me. Do they genuinely believe that those men are literally sitting on that much money in pure cash? Isn’t most of that wealth overwhelmingly tied up in shares of their companies?

Yes and no.
All of them? Hell no.
Most of them? Probably.

Technically most all of the ills the government has is due to the super rich buying it and creating its own rules.. thus the current landscape of normal people suffering and fighting and the rich who already have everything gathering loads more.
This should make people pissed off.

But many billionaires do great work.
So its not them, its the system.

Not really, the money billionaires have is not income, it's basically a big piggy bank.
If you took all their money and redistributed it, it would be something you could only do once.
..and the money the people get from this redistribution wouldn't be that much, more or less 0.3 billion people in the US, so everyone would get around 2K$, in a one time payment.

Of course there would be adverse affects of this, most of the money billionaires have is tied up in stocks - which in turn is ownership. The ownership could then fall outside of American control, this would cause a permanent loss on tax revenues, not to mention the potential capital flight, as no one wants to give everything they have to the great fairness mob.

I didn’t say that. Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg weren’t born billionaires. Their families were well off, but not exceptionally so. What they did was provide a service (Microsoft & Facebook) that solved an existing problem.

Lol not really man. You have to factor in what the anon above alluded to, which is that the government shuffles trillions to billion dollar corporations. Then you add that to money multimillionaires and billionaires make doing nothing but collecting interest off their assets.

Doesn't it matter what they are spending it on? Most people live paycheck to paycheck so it mostly goes to cost of living leaving little to accumulate a bag. Unless if your a NEET and you can afford to invest all of your Mcwagies to crypto. Which a majority for this board does.

what part am i wrong about? 500 Biillion $ would be less than 2K$ per person in America.

Ok so again, think bigger picture.
700 billion a year on war. Amazon paying zero in federal taxes (multiply that by 1000 companies).
Bank laws and bankers, bail outs, government contracts.. it all makes a huge difference and its all controlled by the very wealthy as a means to make more money faster. Money is transfered from country and states directy into corportations bank accounts "savings" that do them nothing when they need an instant bail out.
And then you can think of steve who has 200 million in assets is making 15 million a year in stock market, 40 million in various investments that he doesnt touch, and whatever his salary is.

The game is 1000% rigged. And its rigged against really all of us.
Laws must change. Lobbying, and election laws mostly.
Here is a good fix all law..
If you're running for office you can only take money from private citizens and up to a certain amount. And every year your taxes as a poltician have to be posted to a public forum for scrutiny.
And make lobbying virtually illegal.
Etc etc. All of the sudden companies will have to start investing in People to get their way.

Who rememebrs the greatest middle clas ever?
Where a few years gets you a house a car a wife and family who dont need their own jobs..?
It was when tax rates were 90 fucking percent for the richest.
Now im not advocating for that.. but there certainly is a correlation.
Just dont fall for stupid conservatives one liners like "the rich will leave if you tax them too much!" Like theyll leave California for ohio.
Or "it will trickle down!" As if they dont reinvest directly into themselves.
Or dumbest of all "work harder kid!" As if 70% of people arent retarded, have no social skills, confidence, leverage, critical thinking, temperament, planning skills, health care availability to quit their current situation.
Well off conservatives main problem is they think other people were raised the way they were or are as smart as (some of them) are.

This is basically the cause. People invest too much time and energy into a belief system so the sunk cost fallacy begins.
Its difficult for people to accept something they believed in and fought to defend isnt real. Happens on all sides. See libs and gender pay gap.

In a capitalist society there is no reason anyone should have more than $10 million dollars. With that much you can pretty much never work a day in your life, and still have enough money (not even taking into account passive income) to do whatever you want. Money provides very little additional motivation to work at that point. Would bezos work any less harder if he had 1 billion vs 100 billion? Would society be any worse off if these people had 1/10th or 1/100th their wealth? There would be no difference in their contributions except those billions of dollars could have been taxed or otherwise used to better benefit the public.

The other argument is how much you can attribute innovation to these people? Facebook was a stolen idea to begin with, and how much of amazon's success can you really attribute soley to bezos? If it was the next guy in line, Amazon would probably be in a very similar place. Being in the right place at the right time is not a good reason to allow someone to accumulate so much wealth in a capitalist society, you want to encourage productivity and innovation, not luck.

That's the thing, These billionaires are rich mostly from corporate socialist policies (government tax cuts, grants, fed money printing) all paid for by either taxing people doing actual work, or the "hidden tax" of money printing which mostly taxes people with dollar denominated income / savings, instead of the rich who mostly own assets. And so the hidden tax of money printing benefits them at the expense of people who work for a living.
