which means thay control one hell of a lot more than 813 billion as many of them are multi billionaires. I recently read they have $6.2 trillion between them which is one hell of a lot of money.
Of course most leftists can't leave someone else's money alone and are screeching and blaming them for every problem under the sun. Of course they want them appropriately taxed at a rate of, say 90+%.
The battle cry of ''nobody needs that much money'' echoes through the hallowed halls of the left. well, guess what? They earned it. It's theirs to do anything legal they want to do with it. It's theirs and doesn't belong to them. If it did belong to a leftist they would likely stop being leftists and go ape $hit trying to keep it all.
Look at Bernie Sanders. He used to screech about millionaires until he became one. Now he screeches about billionaires. Now that he's a millionaire I don't see him offering to pay more than his legal share.
Needless to say, the left demands that billionaires get hit harder on taxes.
Guess what? Norway tried that a while back and to their surprise tax revenues dropped considerably. Why?
Because the Norwegian rich moved their money out of Norway. Can't say as I blame them. I would have.
I bet that if the left got their way then the rich would simply leave the country or at least move their money out of the country.
In fact if enough billionaires moved their money to some hellhole like Somalia or Sudan and set up operations inside a few short years they would not be hellholes. They'd be prosperous as all hell. You'd have immigrants from Minnesota trying to return home to Somalia.
What would happen here in the States is the economy would likely collapse worse than it did during the Great Depresion.
The big problem with the left is they always want to spend someone else's money and they will likely instantly piss it all away on various social programs (at least the part they don't steal)
The always seem to forget that every billionaire out there in the process of making their billions have created numerous millionaires and countless middle class jobs. Currently Musk has about 147,000 people on the payroll. That doesn't include the number of outside jobs that are created by outside contractors and suppliers.
Ford Motor Company lists up to 300,000 jobs not including outside contractors and suppliers. You don't get rich all by yourself. Everyone that gets rich takes a lot of people up with them.
The left doesn't think beyond the end of their noses.
Love your comment as it is so true!
