    They have a psychological problem. They are mentally unsound and need to be locked up. They are destroying lives just so they can win the game of capitalism and hold all the fake money, all the fake power. They want to be demigods, worshiped by the “lessers” at how wonderful and great they are because they are winning the game of capitalism.

    And they are succeeding.

      If a family has two dogs and a cat, some might think that’s a little much but as long as the animals are healthy and happy it’s fine…

      Billionaires are like animal hoarders that go around stealing every dog they see in someone’s backyard and never getting them spayed/neutered or even acknowledging they exist once they have possession.

      Billionaires are hoarders, plain and simple.

      It’s just in a hyper capitalist society, that’s encouraged instead of viewed as a mental illness.

      The great news is even if we tax them, they can still compete for who has the most money.

        Major problem with this analogy is if you don’t have a cat or dog you won’t starve to death. These people are trying to hoard resources that are life supporting. They are hoarders, and should be treated as such. The public as a whole needs to have this view and turn our backs on them, just not give them that power or influence over our lives.

        Also citizens united needs to be repealed. Corporations are not people.

      The power is sadly not “fake”, but very real.

      Anyone working in e.g. public infrastructure will be very much able to assure you, how much power money brings and it gets worse with rising levels of political structures.
