    Absolutely a fair question. If you're mad that it could even be asked, maybe that's because you don't have a coherent response https://twitter.com/DanRiffle/status/1087434606763298817 …

        So is Bill Gates inventing Microsoft a policy failure? Or Bezos revolutionizing the online retail experience a policy failure?

        I'm glad we have billionaires. Sometimes even a billion isn't enough funding for a project. The rich people I know don't spend money on themselves but instead use it as a tool to build. Prosperity doesn't come from government.

        Just as fair as asking if it’s morally appropriate for anyone worth 68k. After all that puts them in the top 10% globally. But don’t dare ask that question since it destroys the underlying premise of “fairness”.

        I don’t have a problem with people having a billion dollars! However, I do have a problem with billionaires (& others) buying favors, getting tax breaks/credits, using tax shelters, & tilting the playing field. If billionaires are found to be corrupt, how much should they lose?

        It’s also fair to ask whether it’s morally appropriate for there to be a powerful centralized government. Just look at the horrors they have caused.

        This is wrong. You want communism? So far as that money comes legally and has been taxed appropriately, why do you have a problem with someone accumulating enormous wealth? Bezos revolutionized retail service with Amazon. Gates made the personal computer possible.

        If the person asking this question concedes that it's morally appropriate for some to have more money than others, then it is also morally appropriate for some to have billions. That's because it's impossible to define what the right amounts of money are.

        Property rights exist here, so yes. We're not Venezuela. Wealth equality is a false god worshipped by blank-slate delusional socialist losers who couldn't get ahead in an imperfect but overall great system for creating wealth.

        Prior to the Nick Sandmann incident, the Covington Catholic kids were known for dressing up in blackface and viciously harassing black athletes. They found this "entertaining". Don’t believe a word these little racists say about being victims. pic.twitter.com/zkhq1ua4g7

        From the movie a brilliant mind you shave the top and the bottom off to concentrate the greater good. To do that however, u have to shave greatness out of society. (The super hot chick was going to end up with someone) ...what greatness came out of soviet russia? Art, music, tech
