One billion dollars should be the wealth cap. Any more gets taken and put into the infrastructure of the nation to provide high-paying jobs for EVERYONE.

Nope. Being a billionaire is bad for them, and bad for everyone else.

Yes. The problem is not with the accumulation of wealth, but the holes in the system that allow for people to get away with paying next to nothing in taxes.

Bezos makes over $320 million per day.

That's just...pointless. Unless he's investing it in repairing our failing infrastructure or something, which would be pocket change for him.

Why shouldn't billionaires exist? They've made a great product/service and worked hard for it

There's nothing stopping you from becoming one

It is the epitome of the Capitalist infrastructure we as a society have embraced. By deciding money is the most important thing, we have elevated the few with the wit, wisdom, and ingenuity to make money to the top of the pyramid. We created the billionaires.

What if you're the one building the infrastructure, a system in which people can profit off of? Suppose said system becomes worth billions of dollars. Are you going to give away your stake in the system to stay under the cap? Who would you entrust your stake to?

Meh.

The way I see it, if youre able to come up with an idea that gets you that kind of money, more power to you. Am I jealous? Hell yeah. Do I wish that *I* had a brain that would think of some kind of great idea like that? You betcha.

But I dont. So it is what it is.

And lets be real. If you people had that kind of wealth, not a single one of you would part with a single cent. Who do you think youre kidding lmao

Yes, they should exist, because billionaires are overwhelmingly people who create products and wealth that better society.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't be finding better ways to tax them.

But he is investing money on destroying actual jobs and replacing them with insecure jobs. Then he is using his financial power to avoid paying taxes, even if his business is dependent on all the infrastructures we all paid for. Oh, and he monopolizes the most educated and capable minds of our generation to build useless algorithm so they can distract our attention and try to sell us stuff we never needed.
And that's when he is not really toxic. If not, he is wasting humanity common resources on space tourism.

But he is working hard (and making other working harder, of course), so he is entitled to destroy the world.
