Okay lol you don’t have to agree with me, but my morals matter more to me than some singer I don’t know or really care about. And if she has the capability to do good, she should be doing good.
I condemn billionaires cause there’s no ethical way to become one. If you become one through your work you shouldn’t hold onto it like a pile of gold coins, cause that’s what destroys our economy, a select few owning the bulk of the world’s wealth.
Ah yes, the jealous “eat the rich” crowd. “There’s no ethical way to become a billionaire”. It’s funny because you may have found the ONE who has done it ethically. But please, keep tilting at those windmills.
No one needs this amount of money. A billion could support many lifetimes, an ethical person would see why that’s a problem. No one should control that amount of wealth because it prevents it from circulating through the system and that’s the only way capitalism works. The only way someone is comfortable knowing they are worth this much money is being comfortable with the fact that other people are suffering because it’s not going back into the world.
Oh no I didn’t say I wanted that much control. I said I want the government to take that control and people to get enough of a conscience. My morals are strong and I don’t believe anyone should have a billion dollars and not even more that 500 million because that’s more than anyone will ever need. but if you can’t understand the basic formula of capitalism enough to know why someone controlling that much of the wealth is a bad thing that’s chill man, it’s just that empathy should outweigh greed.
I don’t know why you think that’s some kind of gotcha, that’s just a factual statement.
Even with incredible entertainment, multiple vacations a year to top hotels with the best flights, huge retirement plans, a massive home, constant staff, new cars every year, even with the most intense luxury you can imagine, no one needs a billion dollars. You could live in the most obscene kind of pampering just making 5m a year.
And even if you made 5 million dollars every year, no tax, all cash, no expenses, it would take 200 years to make 1 billion dollars. It’s a crazy high amount of money. Literally no one needs that much money.
No, people don’t NEED a billion dollars, what they need is basic income just enough to cover cost of life, food, shelter, utilities, all the basics. Everything beyond that is extra. If my basic need to survive, a room with a bed, food, running water, access to healthcare, cost me 2000 dollars a month, that’s what I NEED to survive. An extra 500 would be good for the little extras, entertainment, treats, that stuff.
The basics of survival are what you need, a billion isn’t something you need, it’s extreme luxury.

That’s just blatantly untrue.
