I'm so sick of this anti-billionaire bias. Just because I'm a billionaire doesn't mean I'm not being fairly compensated for my work and what I provide for society at the grocery store. Incidentally, I need to get these Iranian rials converted back into USD.

It's this insane 'Atlas Shrugged' mentality, calling them the 'parasite class' is, in fact, much more honest.

By exploiting the working class, they steal the profit that should have been given to those who actually created the wealth.

They don't invent things, they don't create things, they don't support people. They just take.

Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
