Is is not an anti rich statement to say "THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN INNOCENT BILLIONAIRE"

Nobody makes billionaire or 12 figure millionaire status on hard work. It isn't achieved without stealing from working class and BRIBING authorities and law makers.

Most got rich off government contracts and tell us they're "self made.". Billionaires should not exist.

@Crazywaterspring They shouldn’t. Nobody needs that much money. Especially with other people starving and homeless.

@bijouxbroussard if they actually made their money without hurting anyone, and donate to many worthwhile causes, why not?

@samueltyler2 How often is that the case, though ? I tend to agree with the OP; while the descendants may not have gotten dirt or even blood on their hands acquiring that much wealth, the chances are very good someone in the family has.

@bijouxbroussard i have no idea, but, i would give them the benefit of doubt. Although, the only true billionaire i met and socialized with was probably on the spectrum.

@samueltyler2 I rarely give the benefit of doubt anymore when it comes to money.

@bijouxbroussard when i go to the opera, museum, etc., and see the list of donors, i do think about how much i could donate if it were a richer man?

bijouxbroussard · F

@samueltyler2 I understand. I think about that regarding the shelter where I sometimes volunteer. I donate what I can, but I often imagine how much good could be done.

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@bijouxbroussard we do donate, about 10% of our income.
