@shavixmir saidWhy willfully trash my nice post...we can all learn here, you know. Maybe You can tell us the reasoning behind deriding billionaires or the success of billionaires, who add to enrich our lives. Please don't erode your own post ala suzianne.
Didn’t I read somewhere that the official republican slogan is: if it walks like a moron, talks like a moron and dresses like a moron… it’s a MAGA republican.
I’m sure I did!

@AverageJoe1 saidI don't have a particular beef with any billionaire, because most of them started with a dream and a determination to deliver a service or a product and I very much doubt that they started out with the primary goal of being billionaires. You don't get to being a billionaire by wanting it.....
I use the name Tim Cook metaphorically. The Forum has difficulty with metaphors, which are non-literal references to make a point. The point is Billionaires, he is but one.
So, please put in Jeff Bezos, who will deliver a tube of toothpaste to your door, ....anything you can dream up. I am all For Jeff Bezos., metaphorically speaking, ....all For people who make ou ...[text shortened]... ut no explanation is ever given, I simply seek an explanation. How can I get some reason/reasoning?
But when you get there and the people who work for you have to carry a bottle to piss in because you the billionaire treat them like robots then we have a problem. Or when as a CEO or upper management start earning hundreds/thousands of times more than the person on the shop-floor making your business run, then we have a problem.
Look at CEO salary's as a multiple of the lowest paid worker of that corporation back in the 70's (when American's were closest to each other in terms of social mobility and all that) to now and you can see why America is falling apart.

republicans on the other hand only distribute money to those wealthier than they are and any notion of them creating money is to create a loan to some poor schmuck who has an equivalent debt plus interest.
give me one example of this

A guy buys a productive building/business, buys and adds more, then has a lot of them, and his net worth grows as it goes, and he creates more jobs. But you say that there is a problem, that, it needs to be corrected. I think you mean that he is making too much money, to put it bluntly.
What is a practical reasonable way to change things to make things the way that you think they should be?
