Why do you always look for the negative in my posts? The point I was making is Trump is worth $3.1 billion and there are 714 people in this world worth more. That's a lot of people with a lot of money. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXXThen one out of every 10 million people on planet earth are worth $3.1 billion or more. I wish there were more of them. Not necessarily Trump clones, but more like Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Sam Walton, Charles and David Koch, Michael Dell, etc. These are people who have created and grown businesses that have made made our lives easier and better. It's good they weren't stymied along the way by 3% wealth taxes and 70% income taxes.

That's not directed at you SpeedRacer. It's just hard to pass up a chance to knock the likes of AOC, Warren and Sanders when the opportunity presents itself. Originally Posted by Tiny

Even if it was done, it would not bring a great deal of revenue into the federal government. All the people you mention have given back.

which makes the old money wealth amassed by JD Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie and JP Morgan among others even more impressive. Originally Posted by The_Waco_KidI don't think so. Today's billionaires are way ahead of yesteryear's on an inflation-adjusted basis.
