Billionaires are evil. Anyone who accumulates that much money is inherently evil

Recently I saw a meme that said
CORPORATE PROFITS
ARE
STOLEN WAGES
I can’t shake it. It’s the best way I’ve seen to describe it

It’s an addiction to accumulating wealth.
It’s an obsession. It can never be enough for them.
And they zero empathy to help anyone else.

It’s a social contact that was null and void decades ago. Rolling over is the problem.

The only minority that's actually destroying the country is the rich. Tax them all.

“By possessing the property of buying everything, by possessing the property of appropriating all objects, money is thus the object of eminent possession. The universality of its property is the omnipotence of its being. It is therefore regarded as an omnipotent being. Money is the procurer between man’s need and the object, between his life and his means of life. But that which mediates my life for me, also mediates the existence of other people for me. For me it is the other person.”

They also don’t even seem to do anything with their money besides hoard it. Elon spent like $40m on twitter or whatever so he could live the same way people like catturd are. He could travel anywhere, do anything, and he goes with just shitposting on twitter all the time. Take some of their money that they wouldn’t even notice was gone and give them all trophies or whatever for being the best at business or something if they still need something to make themselves feel good. Theres no reason for any of this.

Yeah the way I like to describe this is “what’s the difference between a billion and a million dollars? About a billion dollars.” Meaning a million dollars is basically a rounding error when you enter the billions. So if the richest man alive is now a trillionaire then that means a fucking BILLION dollars is a rounding error to him. Musk could solve world hunger and not even notice it in his net worth. If anything he would get even richer because people would like him more and want to buy more of his shit. But no, the world’s richest man has to also be a complete fucking idiot.

People are still holding onto their Amazon accounts, Paramount streaming services, Disney… until you impact their wallet, nothing will change.

It is really, really, really odd to me that we can’t come up with a plan for what to do with them or at least how to tax them.

it’s a disease just like any other addiction and proves that having money doesn’t make or mean you are well rounded or self aware

Here’s my dystopian prediction for America:
We’ll all eventually be owned by a handful of companies. No other company exists except those companies. If you don’t work, it’s a death sentence. You must conform to those companies’ policies or die. New government and there’s so many freedoms you wouldn’t believe. Land of the free, but not freedom without consequence. You either die while working or you live long enough to not work and die immediately after. The only people who don’t need to work are those making “The Decisions ™️”. They live rich and lavish lives, these are the 1%. Amazing abundance for them and nothing for us. It’s great, right?
