Ugh, the stupidest plank the democrat platform - fomenting wealth envy and scapegoating ~1000 people just because of the number of commas in their bank accounts. There are terrible billionaires, but call them out by name instead of lumping them all together in a big pile of sour grapes.
No, there is no such thing as an ethical billionaire. We must reject this and creates policies to reduce and eventually eliminate the wealth gap.
That's a lie, but if it helps you understand why you aren't rich go with it.
Extreme wealth inequality causes a host of problem we are facing right now.

There is no question about this. Please offer a counterpoint though. I don't think you can even comprehend how much a billion is let alone a trillion.
Spending a billion dollars ($1,000,000,000) would take over 2,700 years if spending $10,000 a day. Are you seriously defending this level of excessive stupidity?
