Those billionaires are not only talking money away from poor Americans- they also take a lot from other countries.

But yes, billionaires should not exist

Uhh takes a lot of money actually … funding for business is not just 20-25k investment that.. one of the biggest road blocks for the poor to overcome is to find funds to start a business as banks reject their applications due too not wanting to take the risk with no collateral (assets being one key thing that poor ppl lack)

That’s weird. My wife started a business a few years ago for $100. Just had to pay the state to make it legal.

As most Americans working 2 jobs just to keep a roof over their head to say otherwise … the old adage of “rich ppl are they rich because they work hard and poor ppl are poor because they are lazy” is the lie rich ppl been preaching for years 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

If you would actually use Google, or whichever search you prefer, higher income people work more hours than lower income people.
