    Ugh, the stupidest plank the democrat platform - fomenting wealth envy and scapegoating ~1000 people just because of the number of commas in their bank accounts. There are terrible billionaires, but call them out by name instead of lumping them all together in a big pile of sour grapes.

      No, there is no such thing as an ethical billionaire. We must reject this and creates policies to reduce and eventually eliminate the wealth gap.

      They are all terrible. Billionaires are parasites, one and all. It’s not wealth envy - it’s just wanting a FAIR share. Billions is never a fair share.

        Sorry you are having issues with severe envy. Maybe you should focus on yourself instead of other people’s wallets?

      Having a billion dollars is like having a get out of jail free card. The justice system doesn’t work when the perp has more influence then a prince. Has little to do with them as a person, everything to do with having a functioning democracy.

          I’m sure the kings of the past said the same thing. Funny thing, that’s how the left vs right divide started.
