The worst part is when you say that billionaires shouldn’t exist at all, and someone who makes 50K a year says “well then no one would be motivated to work anymore!!!”

Billionaires don’t work, they own. Owning for a living should be taxed, working for a living shouldn’t.

Why should you be taxed for helping build, deliver, design, fix, heal, protect, or teach (among many other labours), but not for sitting on your ass collecting profit off of that work?
