        Actually the opposite. I love coming here and watching the anti-capitalist screech about “rich man bad poor man good”. I have no feelings against billionaires one way or the other.

        I was simply pointing out the hypocrisy of calling billionaires bad guys, but giving millionaires a pass.

          It’s not hypocrisy. A billionaire is orders of magnitudes richer than a millionaire. A millionaire doesn’t have nearly the same capacity to do overwhelming good as a billionaire does.

          A millionaire who chooses not to use their money to help isn’t good but a billionaire who chooses not to use their money to help is decidedly evil.

          Much like how you not giving half your sandwich to a homeless guy isn’t good but a restaurant that throws out perfectly good food at the end of the night directly next to a homeless shelter is decidedly evil.

            I love how you decide what good and bad means. If I am in possession of, say, $500 million, I’m not a bad person if I don’t use it to help others. It is not an individuals responsibility to give away their money to “make society better”. That’s your government leaders job. Nor am I a bad person for eating my 12" hoagie while I walk past a homeless guy. It’s my sandwich. I paid for it.

              Yep, I do decide what good and bad means. The fucking concept of taxes disagrees with everything you said so kindly fuck off back to your hole, corpo rat.
