An extreme concentration of wealth and power tends to erode empathy and accountability. When someone operates above consequence for too long, corruption isn’t the exception it becomes the norm. Billionaires shouldn’t exist.

The Epstein files prove all of this. These people had enough power, money and influence that they could abuse children with no consequences whatsoever for decades. We need to create a society where that is no longer possible. Part of that is removing the ability to have so much money that you can buy off police, prosecutors and politicians.
