I want the billionair8 to keep their billions and spend it and invest as they like, and not give one more cent to any politicians and bureaucrats.

By far most billionaires earned their wealth by providing goods and services that the public clamors for.

The politicians and bureaucrats have enriched themselves by selling themselves to the highest bidder and have used most of the tax money to buy votes so they can stay where they are for life.

I’ll take a billionaire over a politician any day of the week.

still the same FR over decades....many still demanding that we leave the rich alone because they earned it or some such...

just like all the congresscritters just happen to go on to become multimillionaires after elected....gee how does that happen...oh that's right they earned it...

can't we realize that its all a rigged system for the favored and every law, regulation, fee, tax etc is designed to keep almost all of Americans down EXCEPT the rich....

Americans working hard, living modestly and not spending like crazy should by all rights be rich at the end of their work life.....why aren't they?.....the system....

no sympathy for the rich and all their "problems"....we should be so burdened....

I felt like that in my younger, libertarian days. These days, when it's billionaire oligarchs vs. politicians and bureaucrats -- I've no dog in that fight.

By far most billionaires earned their wealth by providing goods and services that the public clamors for.

Many tech billionaires "earned" their wealth by providing socially destructive services -- Facebook, Only Fans, Instaslut, Tinder, Google, etc. Yes, much of the public likes these services, but they debase the users' mental and moral health, and empower the surveillance state.

Conservatives should stop offering knee-jerk support to billionaires. They'll do just fine, and apart from a few good ones (Musk), most play the system and don't give a damn about you or this country.

The Democrats are the party of Billionaires, they won’t do anything against them.

They want to destroy the middle class.
