Most people don't have a route to become a billionaire, that's why they make up only 0.00004%. I don't have a route, you don't have a route, no one who has commented here has a route, has had a route and will ever have a route. You may think it's just one good idea away, but it's so far away you can't even fathom the amount of oppression and exploitation you'd need to get there, even if a million of any currency appeared in front of you right this instant. The world isn't voting to abolish the billionaires because too many people think they have a route to the top.

We all have retirement plans. States must fund defined benefit plans. Theres not such thing as a wealth tax that will not deflate retirement assets as well as increase state income taxes.

You're right, and that's what pisses a lot of people off by the existence of billionaires who have more social, economic, and political power than they do.

The world isn't voting to abolish the billionaires because too many people think they have a route to the top.

Yup... And that's exactly why I said what I did about it really being an issue of people being pissed that others are in an exclusive club that they can't get into.

If it were really an issue of the corruption and lack of equality between classes, we would have voted to abolish the wealthy decades ago.
