Anyone who makes this one of their talking points is red flagged to me.

Democrats love to blame billionaires for everything while not doing anything to help the average person.

We need political strategy on the left that actually brings results.

We need to stop giving people any credit for creating vibe based policy that won’t actually help people.

We need to stop giving people credit for blaming other people for their toothless policy not working.

Power consolidation=evil.

I would suggest trying to make any governmental change that would negatively affect someone with much more wealth/power than you and see how difficult it is 

Then magnify that by how hard it would be to take large quantities of their money

You can’t just magically create fair tax policy.

You cant trust the government to magically allocate wealth fairly.

That’s not how power works.

Ehh I disagree with a lot of the things in that thread. First of all, there is no real wealth behind a lot of the wealth we talk about. E.g. Elon can't sell his Tesla stocks at current market price.

Second - the reality is, housing benefits, employment, budget are all intrinsically related to both tax policies and employment policies. If the financial infra of a country wouldn't be based solely on speculation & worker abuse, if the tax policy was fair (i.e. things that create billionaires), you also wouldn't have housing problems, budget deficit, triple-job-hustle-life and high unemployment.

In other words, OP is right. We don't need to have billionaires.
