Outlaw billionaires to save democracy: MSNBC analyst

MSNBC political analyst Anand Giridharadas suggested on Monday that it was only a “policy choice” that allows billionaires like Elon Musk to flourish in the United States.

Hereditary Power Is the Well-Hidden Cancer That Has Destroyed All Previous Civilizations

Depends on whether they inherited it, including getting a head start from Daddy's Money, or totally earned it, like Ross Perot. Those who hate their Daddies for not getting rich and spoiling them are afraid of and inhibited by massive HeirHead brainwashing from distinguishing between the two groups.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Even if they took all the money away from Billionaires, the government would still need to end up printing more money to pay for all their programs. They're playing the class game again to put Americans against each other.
Guess they are just still upset about Musk buying out Twitter. They hate the idea of free speech, even though they will have the same right to be heard. If Leftist progs are unable to silence others it's a threat to democracy. Just like the Hunter Biden laptop was really just Dangerous mis-information that needed to be silenced ...until OOOPS it was really real.

The Real and Denied Duopoly Is Private-Public

The government is no different from the private-sector oligarchy that passes that governmental property of theirs onto their sons who can't make it in the business world even after the huge head start Daddy gives them.

Where Do Billionaires Come From?

Do Billionaires Destroy Democracy and Capitalism? - Evonomics

• Inherited Wealth: around 60 percent of wealth in the US is inherited. The best chance you have of becoming a billionaire is to marry or be born into intergenerational riches.
• Monopolies: Jeff Bezos’ Amazon accounts for nearly 50 percent of all e-commerce retail sales in America. Our patent and trademark systems, which have been extended in duration, create billionaire like George Lucas and Oprah Winfrey.
• Insider Information: Hedge fund billionaire Steven A. Cohen made 'hundreds of millions of dollars of illegal profits' – through his expertise in insider trading. This is not an isolated incident.
• Politics: You can invest in politicians – or even bet on them, like racehorses – through your timely campaign contributions. Americans for Tax Fairness estimates that Charles Koch and David Koch and/or Koch Industries could save between $1 billion and $1.4 billion combined in income taxes each year from the Trump tax law―and that doesn’t include how much the Koch Industries save in taxes on offshore profits or how much their heirs will benefit from weakening the estate tax.

"Good luck with these four strategies.

"Without them, the average US worker would have to work for 25 thousand years to become a billionaire.

"How has the number of billionaires grown over the past few decades? In 1996 there were 423 billionaires spotted in the wild. In 2019, that number rose to 2,153.

"Billionaires constitute just 0.00003 percent of the world population, but they currently own the equivalent of 12 percent of the GWP (gross world product) and a much larger percentage of the total wealth of the world."

"Since the pandemic began, America’s billionaires have seen their wealth skyrocket to an amount almost equal to a fifth of US GDP.

"This concentration of wealth is morally unacceptable — but it also represents a mortal threat to democracy."

Born on Third Base and the Peons Think He Hit a Triple

Again, if you don't distinguish between inherited wealth, including those who were pre-positioned by it to collect even more, and earned wealth, such as Ross Perot's and most of the fortunes made in 19th Century America, then your mind is being manipulated by the spoiled-putrid brats.

Going back a little further into the history of US Capitalism, do you believe Washington and Jefferson and their slave-holding descendants earned their wealth?

Wealth and Culture in the South | US History I (OS Collection)

"Because of the cotton boom, there were more millionaires per capita in the Mississippi River Valley by 1860 than anywhere else in the United States.

"However, in that same year, only 3 percent of whites owned more than fifty slaves, and two-thirds of white households in the South did not own any slaves at all.

"Distribution of wealth in the South became less democratic over time; fewer whites owned slaves in 1860 than in 1840."

Leftists Prove They Are Agents of the Right Wing When They Do This

Bringing worthless Afram savages in as the victims makes Whites support hereditary Affirmative Action. Whites are the only race that has ever been cheated by these obsolete and stinking European aristocratic privileges.

How many millionaires in the Mississippi River Valley by 1866?

Too many.
Why would a capitalist care?

"'In 1860, slaves as an asset were worth more than all of America’s manufacturing, all of the railroads, all of the productive capacity of the United States put together,' the Yale historian David W. Blight has noted

"'Slaves were the single largest, by far, financial asset of property in the entire American economy'..."

"Besides the crime which consists in violating the law, and varying from the right rule of reason, whereby a man so far becomes degenerate, and declares himself to quit the principles of human nature, and to be a noxious creature, there is commonly injury done to some person or other, and some other man receives damage by his transgression: in which case he who hath received any damage, has, besides the right of punishment common to him with other men, a particular right to seek reparation.

Slavery Was Punishment. Humanoids Who Acted Like Jungle Animals Needed to Be Tamed.

Locke's theories don't apply to wild Afram savages. A similar philosopher, John Stuart Mill, even specifically stated that. Another social thinker, Hegel, said that sub-Saharan Africa had no place in human history.

"Africa has been a victim of misrepresentation since the advent of colonialism.

"This paper, which is largely based on textual analysis, examines how African philosophy and literature intersect in an attempt to bring about a better understanding of Africa in both the West and Africa itself.

"The study argues that the intersection of literature and philosophy in African literary discourse we witness is an inevitable consequence of the historical events (including colonialism) that conspired to condemn the continent—as a body—to subjection in the Western world of thought, and the response that this reality solicited from Africans facing the challenges of the Western engineered modernity.

"The study examines the writing of some of the pioneering modern African writers who have tried to undermine ideas propagated by philosophers such as Hegel—in a typical Eurocentric tradition—to undermine Africa, a continent they hardly understood.

"The objective is to show that through literature, African writers were able to reveal more about African thought than what has been readily acknowledged."

The government should just give everyone 5 billion dollars to even things out.

They could create a "hyper-dollar" that would equal one thousands dollars.

Then let the laws of economics take its course.
