Wait till he hears how necessary it is for life to get harder for billionaires.

That’s why they’re trying to take power. Billionaires would rather destroy the world and drive all life to extinction than to give up their private jets and yachts.

That’s so 2020. Oh, that was under trump rule. Just a small sample of what’s to come if he gets into office again.

There are now a lot of people who think we should be nice to billionaires because they also could become one sometime in the future

Wouldn’t be the first civilization that disappeared because the elite doesn’t want to compromise and give up status. It’s a constant in history.

The worst part is–it’s really not. These guys could all stay millionaires and we could still solve our system’s worst distribution issues. Their biggest hardship could be dealing with not being The Guy With The Biggest Number when they go to their rich guy parties.

Personally I’m in favor of making them destitute and/or imprisoning them, but going that far really isn’t strictly necessary.

UBI actually makes billionaires richer, even with higher taxes. Money trickles back up to them. The problem with UBI is that it redistributes power, and the powerful want all of their power. Wealth “needs” to buy power.

Harder - lol. He’ll have to settle for two 180 foot yachts instead of three.
