hes right. you can ethically, through hard work or a good idea or both, make 1m. i don't think there's a way to make billions without either a massive head start or exploiting someone, likely both. every dollar over 500m should be taxed 95%.

A billionaire buys one mattress a thousand millionaires buy one thousand mattresses. Who's really stimulating the economy?

It's really simple math. One person stimulating the economy, vs 1000. Even if a billionaire was dropping money everywhere they go, they can only be in so many places.

He’s right. Bezos destroys more jobs than he creates. That’s where his money comes from

The middle class create jobs when we have extra money in our pocket. And we create jobs in our communities. We hire the local plumber when we have extra money. We go out to eat at our local restaurant owned by a family in our school district.

Holy cow. That’s the best argument I’ve ever heard. 1 billionaire versus 1000 millionaires. I’ll take the millionaires

There's no ethic reason to be a billionare
Even a multimillionaire
We should cap fortunes, everyone would be better

That's a decent way to explain it. A thousand millionaires will have more ideas for good businesses than any one single billionaire.

To spend ONE Trillion dollars, you could spend $1 MILLION EVERY DAY and it would take over 2,700 YEARS before it was gone.

Also no matter how hard they try, 1 billionaire doesn’t have the spending power of 1,000 millionaires. Billionaires are bad for the economy

I like the clip where Tim Dillon says “I like to see when rich people are building nice homes on the coast or buying a yacht but when they’re building rockets and terraforming planets something might be wrong”
