      Every single billionaire got there by exploiting and taking money from the people below him, who did most of the actual work. Nobody can earn a billion dollars, you can only do it by stealing. Buffet and Gates are the worst cause they try so hard to play the good guy billionaire image

        I assume your downvotes are from billionaires. If not, that’s just sad. If you’re defending billionaires and aren’t one yourself, I regret to inform you that you’re a mark.

        If that actually happens then he’ll no longer be a billionaire and that will be great. Until then he deserves the guillotine. Say it with me, there is zero reason for anyone to have a billion dollars and if they do the only way they have a billion dollars is by hurting other people. Every penny over a quarter billion (and that’s generous), could have been given back to the labor that created it or directly to the supposed charities that he’s giving to now. If you trust a single word a billionaire says then you’re a fool.

        Hasn’t done it yet and even if he does it will be to a charity he and his family will have control of. They’ll still control the money and have the power that comes with.

        Same with the Patagonia guy and his family. It’s all bullshit to make liberals gush over them.
