    I just dont get it…whats the point of making more than 300k a year. If i was to make at least 80k a year i would be comfortable as hell and would live a happy lifestyle. People who make millions a year are something else, but people making billions are just on another level of spoiled.

      the ultra wealthy have their own entire culture, completely segregated from the poors. they only socialize with each other. they travel and visit places only mega-wealth can afford. they don’t talk to the “help.” their kids are raised entirely within this bubble, only coming into contact with other obscenely wealthy kids. attaining to the absolute top of the pyramid, being the most richest/powerful of all is pretty much their only purpose for existence. it seems like life should be about more than that, but for them, it isn’t. everything they do makes more sense when you examine it with all this in mind

      they don’t care about you and me–we are less than human to them. whether we suffer, live, die–they couldn’t give less of a flying fuck. all they want from us is the last little bit of money we have, and for us to be good compliant obedient little slaves

      Billionaires should be illegal. For someone to have that kind of wealth means that numerous other people are being deprived of a reasonable standard of living.

        I figure they are content with the cities and roads we have built them, now we can die so they can have full run of the playground.

        This is the total truth. I think people should be regulated with a welth tax. Anything over a certain amount should be 100% taxed, but there meeds to be stipulations with it. If you own a business you cant have your money in an offshore acount and must be in the country the companies main contributer. Something along these lines.
