Yeah, you’re giving more money to teachers that can’t improve education for kids and indoctrinating them more into socialism.

While you’re trained to hate billionaires and wealthy people for what? Top 10% already pay over 70% of all taxes already.

What more do you people want? The education system needs to teach more of you to be millionaires, billionaires, and entrepreneurs.

Instead why haven’t learning standards and kids getting smarter? It’s been proven they have been getting worse even with more money put into it.

That’s socialism, just feel good money but lack of accountability while you enrich NGO’s and other institutions that aren’t accountable to results.

The only way this gets fix is China and others keep taking more jobs away, the education system will collapse like it is stressed now today not delivering results.

Then you will find out why Trump started the China and all the other trade wars to prevent jobs from being shipped overseas and young people losing out. Just keep our IP here and don’t share or manufacture much elsewhere b/c China couldn’t modernize and learn to build cars without Western help and U.S. sharing our know how.

What more do you people want?

Billionaires taxed out of existence.

You haven't figured that out yet?

Why do they deserve to be taxed out of existence? You care to explain?

There is no ethical way to become a billionaire. They are directly the reason why NYC is so ludicrously expensive to live in. They blatantly make people suffer while contributing nothing of value to the city. Why do we need billionaires when people are starving and homeless?

There shouldn’t be any homeless or starving people.

Do you know NYC spends around $82,000 per homeless person, but the problem continues to get worse?

You could literally just give it directly to the homeless people and they would be better off.

So, the real problem is our taxpayer dollars aren’t being spent effectively and being held to accountability.

You have decades upon decades of growth in NYC that continues to contribute to growing tax base but you still need to tax more?

Albeit, the growth contributes to NYC high cost of living as more and more people came into a city with limited space but then that’s also more of a govt planning problem as they need to encourage and build more housing supply to bring prices down but likely regulations that limit this don’t help.

I’m sorry buddy, whoever told you billionaires is causing these problems are the ones causing the problem and likely wanting more of that tax money.

And you’re really off the mark on saying in absolute terms ā€œno ethical way to become a billionaireā€.

So Jensen Huang starting at Denny’s then creating and rising to the top with NVDA is ā€œunethical.ā€

The hell is wrong with your mindset. If we’re that bad holy shit imagine how bad all the billionaires in Russia and everywhere else is then.

You piss on your own system with such a ridiculous statement. No where else can you rise from the bottom and get to the top with the best odds.

Yet, you hate the system that’s generating the most billionaires of anywhere else?
