The list includes 2,755 billionaires — 660 more than last year, including 493 people who are new to the list. The No. 1 spot went to Jeff Bezos, whom Forbes says has a net worth of $177 billion, making him the world's richest for the fourth year running.

Eight of the top 10 billionaires are from the U.S. — including Microsoft's Bill Gates (No. 4); Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg (5); Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffet (6); Oracle's Larry Ellison (7); and Google's Larry Page (8) and Sergey Brin (9).

“So those are the people who plan to decide how the rest of us will live.”

Yes. That’s pretty much the case. We get the leftover stimulus checks that we have to repay with a new tax plan.

I’m happy to see anyone succeed, but it’s what happens after they succeed that’s the big problem. Our country is being hollowed out by shipping jobs out of the country and relegating what was the middle class to flipping hamburgers or working for the gubmint.

What a system!
