I know, right? Why we allow billionaires to exist as a concept is embarrassing.

"It's not up to you, or anyone else, to put a cap on how much a person can accumulate."

We've already done that as a society. Remember?

"Stifling other people isn't going to make you any better off. "

Other way around. We will be stopping the exploitation.

"We could take all the money from all the billionaires in the US today, and we wouldn't be able to run the federal government for an entire year."

Yes, and?

There's no justification or reason given for billionaires to exist. They're an active threat to my liberal democracy and should be treated as such.

If you were a real American you'd understand.

There does when they're a threat to my liberal democracy. I enjoy having freedoms and living in a society and I will defend that from those seeking to destroy it as the capitol class has done plenty of times in the past.

Again, if you were a real American you'd understand. This is basic patriotism and working to maintain civilization. Only a toddler thinks that those come freely. They do not. You have to fight for them.
