    The people who want to get rid of the rich are the same people who are jealous they aren’t rich themselves.

      I disagree. Rich isn’t millions. It’s billions. No person needs a billion dollars, and you don’t get a billion dollars by contributing to humanity. You get it by cheating, stealing, and abusing a corrupt system. People who don’t want to get rid of them want to be them, and have the false idea that one day they can.

          There’s a big difference between having millions and having billions. No one should have enough money to buy a small country, or… spend hundreds of millions on influencing politics. Or, buying 100 houses without making a dent in your pocket.

          That’s, as they say, “fuck you money.” No one needs that kind of money.
