Current Events > Explain to me why billionnaires want to make even more money.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I have NEVER understood this.

But I suspect a GOP voter might. Have we got any of those, knocking around CE?

Literally nothing better to do. This is the most significant game they can play, so they keep playing it, but the points don't matter and the court is the lives of 7 billion people.

The sort of people that become billionaires in the first place do so because they have an unbelievable in-built drive and hunger for success. There's always another deal or acquisition to try, that's why they usually still work as heads of business into their 70s and 80s while the rest of us are enjoying our retirements. It's just a different mindset to the majority of us.

Its what they are good at and people tend to enjoy doing things they are good at I guess.

Also power. Pride as in being able to say im bigger than other rich guys.

Rich ass people take their greed to an extreme. As if having a multi-million dollar salary is not enough, these people try HARD as fuck to get tax cuts as well. The rich cheats the system as much as the poor free rides the system.

Yeah even Trump more or less admitted to gaming the system while he was running. Iirc he told Hilary is she had a problem with it why hasnt she done anything to change thr laws to close loopholes he and others take advantage of.

This is how I view it. Kind of like how athletes and powerlifters keep trying to get better, how scientists keep pushing for new discoveries, etc. Some people have the drive that MAKES them keep going.
