I’m okay if billionaires exist, but their political and economic power should be somehow kept in check
Nope. No one person ever needs anything near that amount of money.
Agreed. No one should have that much wealth. Saying it is fine is like saying cancer is fine for a body.
I’m okay with billionaires if the government provides a UBI of ten million a year. A hundred years of UBI seems like a fair amount for someone to own if they worked really hard and inherited a nice house. Houses are one of the only things I think should be inherited.
Money is political and economic power. You CANNOT have one without the other.
doesn’t need to be
go get money out of politics
remove citizens united and all that
That won’t end corruption
