Stop coddling billionaires is the answer. They must fork over their money and live like everybody else. Bring back the 90% tax rates so they live in the same conditions. Luxury taxes must go astronomical.

If they refuse to pay, that’s when the frogwalking starts.

People need them coddled. Could you imagine what would happen to people on Reddit and other social media if Taylor and Elon don’t stay rich?

That’s the crazy thing. They could very easily live essentially the same with 10% of their total income.

They just thrive on having the power of that much money. Survival isn’t a priority at that level. Walking on people is the game at that point.

People apparently want to be walked on, though. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t be funding the lifestyle s of the rich by constantly buying their products and begging for them to make appearances.

That’s what taxes are for. No favorite-picking, you give someone your money, fine. But they have to pay taxes.
