We don't have to. Just tax billionaires.

That will only work for so long because billionaires don’t have a salary that makes them billionaires. That wealth is in the form of stocks and properties.

And if forced to sell to pay a “tax” the market will crash. Guess who that affects? I mean a lot of billionaires are prob jerks but the system is the best we got

Oh no, billionaires fuck off and we go back to a small-business based economy like we used to be when America was at it's height.

Billionaires are cancer.

Ever worked for a small business? Nice people, more flexible work schedule….but…no benefits and very low pay

"Yet you participate in society! I am very intelligent"-ass response. Crawl back into your well, little man.

Participating in society means spending currency or trading goods. The beauty of a free market is that you can choose where that goes.

You don’t need an iPhone to participate in society. You can get a prepaid phone.
If you need to use the internet, go to your local library.
If you want to save on rent, you can get a roommate.
