This is such a good, good idea.

there is need for a socialist desolation of smaug (hobbit reference)

Precisely!

Oh s**t, I've never heard of her. I'm off to do some research :)

There's just no good reason to be a billionaire. Having said that, billionaires don't actually have a billion in cash. They were worth that much because they have businesses of that value.

What is worse, in the US, are the billionaire-defender welfare garbage. You know, the ones who rail against taxing billionaires while taxpayers support *them*? Oh, what do we call them? It's on the tip of my tongue.

"Most human beings starve" is just not a true statement

Well, saying …”while most human beings starve to death “ might be a bit of a stretch I still get your point.

Ignoring that not "most human beings starve to death". It's easy to point to others and call them moral monsters. But do we hold ourselves to the same standards? For instance, what's on our dinner plates? Is there any good reason for consuming animal products that come from an industry so evil that it IS actually unparalleled? I suggest we look at our own actions first before blaming others.

Money, like all things only has value based on availability. If we redistribute wealth evenly the cost of goods just goes up and the value of that dollar goes down

Billionaires like Bill Gates and his ex wife give billions to charities and Jeff Bezos gave 10 billion dollars towards climate change and his wife has given billions to charity. There are lots of Billionaires that help out so DON'T LUMP THEM AS ALL ONE GROUP.

After a certain amount of money, nobody cares about them. They don't hoard money anymore. it's the power that comes from controlling a huge amount of money that matters. So, it's not about money. It's about power.

If I was a billionaire, I wouldn’t *really* be a billionaire. Does that make sense?

Hey, at least some of these billionaires found companies to shoot People (primarily: them) right into heaven (or whatever that thing is called which starts around some hundred miles above earth' ground).

There really is a misunderstanding here; they aren't hoarding it, society is handing it to them. Mostly investors hoping to make money of of it.

Yeah, must be that gratitude journal. 🤔

Right!

The only surefire way to get rich is to start rich.

Every time I see Zuckerberg's photo, the first thing I think is "Damn. Someone needs to slip him some light colored contacts." Those dark eyeballs are like black holes to his soul.

I laughed way to hard for this question

I'm poor because I don't have a Garage. My entire apartment have the size of ( insert the smallest size place in your house)

'we should test this hypothesis' i died laughing

And pay no taxes!

.....this felt like a slap to the face

I love that Donald trump isn’t on these lists, he got more money from his dad than most of these people and still couldn’t make the list!

A tiny little boost from Quicken. Hahahahahahaha.

There is a lot of words there to say that his rich family paid for it

I'm a legacy admission - I was granted admission to the every day rat race, just like my parents and their parents and their parents' parents.

Oh, and also not spend any money on accommodation or food or anything else between now and having enough house money.

My dad passed away; so all of our money is tied up in the afterlife market. An with my dad being a good man I'd like to think he's in heaven. An when I die...well I'm not so sure. So it looks like we will be diversifying our stock portfolio. No use in having all the deviled eggs in one basket. 😁🤪 yeah, yeah I'm leaving. 🤨 Well I know now; that it's not funny...🤣

Reason 1. Tax evasion.

Calvin and Hobbes. Calvin - "I have decided I am going to be rich". Dad: "You better start studying and work hard." Calvin " No, you should. I decided I am going to inherit it."

Crissel Hisson says the truth

His name sounds like a spell from HP

Mazer- the economy is so fuckd up that a lot of people can't afford food and rent at the same time.

I think I'll be grateful...for my journal.🥴😆

This is the slowest way to become a millionaire. No billionaire would ever spend enough on anyone but themselves to drop below $1,000,000,000.

Ack, it's depressing to even read those words any more

Enabled entitlement.
