Sorry, no. That’s straight-up communism.
Thank you.
@RJ – Agreed
Fuck that!
I’m there with RJ.
For what it is worth, people call Musk a billionaire — but he does not have a billion dollars sitting in a bank vault. What he has are shares of various companies. Those shares represent control of those companies. If you tax those shares away from them, some half-wit bureaucrat like Elizabeth Warren or AOC will then have control of the company — and it won’t do nearly as well.
We all like to bash incompetent CEOs. I know I do. That said, there are some CEOs that are worth whatever they were paid and then some. Musk comes to mind. Without him, electric vehicles would be at least 20 years behind where they are today; Tesla, SpaceX, and Boring would not exist.
Steve Jobs is another one. Without Jobs, Apple would no longer exist.
If Elon decides to rest on his laurels and no longer work, he’s still has already earned his billions.
No. Millionaire politicians are the ones that should have to justify every dime they own or control. And since they are on the public dole — there should be prison or execution for corruption. Singapore has done an excellent job of stiff penalties for corruption — and they are less corrupt than the US is.
In agreement with everyone else. Fundamentally nobody has a right to anyone else’s life’s work and life’s worth of decisions. We get twit-twats like AOC saying nobody should be allowed to be a billionaire. Every penny over a billion goes directly to the Feds, thereby reducing anyone’s desire to help companies grow by investing in them. Then as the Federal Reserve devalues currency every year (inflation) that amount becomes worth less and less.
2nd: No. Millionaire politicians are the ones that should have to justify every dime they own or control.
add: and be vetted for every fuckin penny they propose to be spent

I don’t worry about billionaires, unless they made their billions while in Congress. I equate those folks with Cartels, and organized crime. They need to list the names of family members they used to launder their money.
Billionaires?
Nope.
POLITICIANS should tell us what they did for SOCIETY, because THAT IS THEIR JOB.
What they did for society? They “repaired the world” by:
1. Offshored US jobs
2. A) Imported, or facilitated, the import of fundamentally nonassimilable dumb foreigners to work dangerous shitty jobs for even shittier pay. B) imported slightly less dumb foreigners to do “technical” jobs on an H1-B.
3. Further hollowed out the financial system while lining their own pockets.
4. Funded and promoted hateful leftist pervert ideology in academia from not just K-12 but K-PhD. On the pop culture side, made movies and TV shows glorifying deviance and miscegenation while belittling and demonizing whites. Especially straight, male whites. And they produced a fuckload of porn also. Plus the sportsball thing.
5. Used their wholly-owned propaganda outlets, I mean “legitimate media” to whine (yet again) about how they’re the Real Victims who are misunderstood and persecuted only because of bigotry and intolerance. It’s not easy being a billionaire.
That’s a typical week’s work well done. Don’t you agree?
This is pretty where Im at on the subject of billionaires. If they leave me alone, and aren’t using their vast wealth and influence to work against me and fuck me over, then we’re cool. But the minute they turn into a Gates or Soros type Bond villain, fuck them with a rusty chainsaw, sideways. I want all their wealth and property confiscated. And I don’t want it redistributed, either. I want it destroyed. Burn the damn money, just to keep them from using it for societal engineering projects and oppression of those they perceive as their lessers.
I favor destroying their wealth so no one else (their adult child, for example) can manage to get it and wield control and influence with it. Look at that little faggot alex soros, who will be an even more insufferable cunt than his old man. We do not need a sack of dogshit like him controlling the kind of resources he now does, as it will be used with malign intent.
In short, if they want to spend their money on fine art, mansions, yachts, hookers and blow, that’s ok with me. But as soon as they appoint themselves a master of the universe, and start buying governments just to oppress others, game over.
Damn right!. To become a billionaire you must have overcharged your customers, underpaid your workers and/or ripped off the taxpayers.
I have no problem with rich people but no one has ‘earned’ a billion dollars much less a hundred billion.
Wow! Now I don’t know you, but I think I know your skincolor, it’s green isn’t it? (Green for Envy)…
Look, equalizing overcharging your customers with get a price the market or the customers is going to pay isn’t the same…
The same thing is for the two other points. Can this happen? Absolutely, but from the getgo saying it is so, is… wow! And no businness is ripping of the taxpayers, that is the Goverment with its armed thugs, and the polticans or their servants the bureaucrats who throw the money out with both hands…
And something else: What you’re saying about the billionairs could
be said over every businessman- or women on this planet. Are you sure you want go this way?
“No business is ripping off the taxpayers”? Have you ever been in the service and seen what defense contactors do? Are you paying attention to what President Musk is doing right now? Ever heard of carried interest? I could go on.
If markets were really free and competitive billionaires wouldn’t exist. When there is monopoly power (one or a few firms in a market) competition doesn’t keep prices down so profits remain above normal.
Some of these profits are spent on millionaire politicians who change laws and tax policy to protect these these profits.
It took corrupt politicians AND the super wealthy to get us where we are today. Don’t give the billionaires a pass just because you envy them and have the illusion of possibly being one someday.
You do know that the “Five things” is just Roll Call.
Isn’t that what Communists say?
Along with “Thanks for the cash, now off to the Gulag with you……..!”
Yeah, no. I thought WE were the good guys, and the Left were the vermin.
This is, as stated above just straight up communism.
Just confiscate all the money from the politicians. Then tell them to write down five things each week.
Failure to do so results in permanent prohibition from ever being involved in politics or public office.
Complaining will result in being sent to the gallows.
Fuck ’em
They wanted the job, then they should expect to create positive results.
Sorry, no. That’s straight-up communism.
