More important question: how is it any of your f*****g business how much money someone else has?

Billionaires generated their wealth by creating industry, companies, jobs, and opportunities for (usually) thousands, if not millions, of other people.
And people dont realize that these billions exist in stocks, companies, and other assets. Its not like they have a huge Scrooge McDuck pool of money that they swim around in.
And they did so through consensual transactions. If you dont like Jeff Bezos, you can terminate your relationship with him. Cancel your Prime membership or your Washington Post subscription.
Meanwhile, all of this (https://www.usdebtclock.org/) money that government has squandered was taken by force. Give us your money or well throw you into a cage. Try terminating your relationship with them and see how well that goes.

To all the folks here who look so fondly at government intervention, socialism, and kleptocracy, I think you should take a moment and explain to everyone precisely why and how a government who is over 22 trillion in debt should be empowered to steal large swaths of money from individuals who create enormous amounts of prosperity with their money.

Looking upon someone elses wealth covetously with the idea that they dont deserve it, or with the assumption they just had to have earned it through illegitimate channels, is unhealthy, un-American, and makes you a bad person.
