Billionaires should not exist. They should be taxed out of existence.
Seriously. If they want to keep their money, they should be forced to invest it in companies that generate jobs.
I hate this mentality. Government spends 50m on pointless projects like building a giant fan in the desert that does nothing just to create jobs. So 30 people have to build it then other people have to maintain it and clean up the dust it makes. But they created jobs and “kept the economy going strong.” Just give these people the money and let them enjoy themselves. It’s the same underlying concept of UBI. They have more free time to spend their money efficiently that they might actually create something of need. If not at least they’re not forced to waste their fucking time for the sake of numbers on a spreadsheet
Exactly, look up the broken window fallacy
