Topic	Do you think billionaires should exist?

Billionaires create jobs that put food on middle class tables. You can say working for Amazon sucks all you want. If it were THAT bad, 650,000 people wouldn't be working for them right now. You can say somebody being a billionaire is immoral while other people struggle fort the basics, but if you took ALL the net worth from ALL the American billionaires, you'd end up with about 3.5 trillion dollars. Not their income, but seized 100% of ALL their money. 3.5 trillion. The Democrats' "Medicare For All" plan costs FIVE trillion dollars per year. If you bankrupted every billionaire in the country, you could fund "free" healthcare for eight and a half months. So that position might sound good until you introduce actual figures, and then like most emotional based leftist talking points, it falls apart. yeah i mostly agree with you dude. I have heard some people say, and think, that if you took all the world's billionaires' wealth that it should pay for everything and lift every american out of poverty. That opinion is lunacy. And i agree a lot of it does have to do with resentment and jealousy --- "Why should I think I was special?"
