i got that and a real response as well <| sep |> There just aren ' t enough things for them to buy . How many Ferrari ' s do you have to buy to eat up a billion dollars ? So maybe they don ' t need that fucking money , and can give it to the government so the government can create or improve upon programs that help people . Everyone always argues for the extremes . Tax all the wealth of individuals away or don ' t tax them at all . Whatever happened to moderation ? Some things are best done by government programs others by private sector . I never said tax them into the poorhouse . I also said that average rich people are fine . It ' s the ultrarich I have a problem with . People who are billionaires or hundred millionaires should not have that much wealth . But there are very few exceptions , like creating a new technology that improves the lives of everyone on earth should be exempt from taxes . This would have to be on the individual level , not the corporate level . The reasoning behind that is that that technology is doing more for poor people than the government could do by giving poor people resources . Its all moot anyway in the US . The voters don ' t seem to want increased taxes . They want tax breaks for the wealthy because they believe that will lead to more jobs . Investments don ' t do shit for poor people . They might create a couple jobs , but in the longrun , investments only create more wealth for the alreadywealthy . Poor people want jobs because it ' s the only thing that brings them money .
