It’s ok to have billionaires – capitalism rewards capital and capitalism is better than the other options.
It’s NOT ok to have billionaires that pay no taxes AND pay sub-poverty level wages so the rest of us have to make sure their warehouse workers have enough money to afford food and shelter.
The problem isn’t billionaires – few people cared about Bill Gates or Warren Buffet in the nineties because A: they paid taxes and B: we weren’t subsidizing meals for Microsoft employees and Berkshire employees weren’t sleeping on the streets.
The problem is billionaires who have forgotten, or never learned, that there are 8 billion of us and 3000 of them and when we get tired of paying their bills we’ll come to collect what we’re owed.
I’m not advocating violence, I’m simply explaining information available in any history book.

The true image of billionaires:
Bloated parasites that suck the life blood out of nations.

While I believe this to be true the messaging has to get much better. On the surface it just sounds like people are jealous of success. We need to improve the messaging with details on exactly this is doing and how.

Republican voters defend billionaires because they hope to one day become one.
Billionaires hate everyone and will do everything in their power to stop anyone else from becoming one.

When the hell do we actually do something about it? There are so many more people ready to do something than people realize because every time someone posts anything suggesting we do something it’s censored.

And if you question, criticise or challenge that shit, you’re not being patriotic.
Amazes me how successfully the narrative has been set by the elites.
Participate in a system that fucks people in the vain hope that you’ll luck into being part of the elites, thus meaning you won’t have to suffer the burden of being fucked and instead join the fortunate circle that does the fucking.
Keep the hope alive of being able to join the ranks of elites, thus keep the desperate and profitable rat race going.
And if you step out of line, don’t participate in the rat race, then you might join the ranks of desperate poor, a threat that’s hung over you to make you wake up in the morning and keep participating in the rat race.

Chimpanzees will gang up and beat a member of their group who exhibits hoarding behavior until that individual removes themself from the society. Nature always has a way of solving life’s problems.
