    All billionaires deserve the vast majority of their wealth to be seized, but I vote we spare this one the guillotine.

        He’s made basically all of his money off the stock market and he agrees billionaires should pay more in taxes.

        Comes off more as a person gaming the system rather than gaming people.

        Not saying he’s a good person, but in comparison to people like Musk he’s pretty meh.

          I guess exploiting the opioid crisis, climate change, or labor violations are just details.

          There is no good billionaire. You can use whatever crazy scale to justify your opinion of one, but the truth is they made money profiteering from the destruction of hundreds of thousands of lives, if not more.

          Nazi Musk scale… Thanks for this great joke.

          Once you made a couple of millions and are set for life there are no reason to keep investing money in evil companies. A normal person would take the money out and donate them not keep investing.
