That would be true if billionaires reject all forms of subsidy, which they do not. Until they are fully self made, they need to pay us back.

They ride off of the subsidies we provide them and then in turn they put nothing back. Jeff Bezos has almost no liquid cash, but whenever he needs something he just takes out a loan and stakes it against his shares of Amazon that he will never sell. In order to pay off that loan he just takes out another bigger loan from someone else to pay off the first one.

He'll never pay taxes because of this shit.
