You'd have the property you earned and could use. Others wouldn't get rich off your toil and own things they couldn't possibly use if they lived to be a thousand years old.

What kind of person really wants or needs more?
Your most amazing post of all time. Marx city. Makes me cry in a way. Hey, who decides how much property one 'could use'? I have several homes , car at each one. Who decides , and by what measure, if I get to have each car, and each home, for that matter? I can't be at all of them at the same time. One is ski, one is beach, you get the drift. Just too much, huh? Tell us.

PS: I 'earned' it all , and created jobs doing it.

I'm not wasting time with your ignorant a** anymore.

If someone as monumentally stupid as you actually owns such things (which I severely doubt), it simply shows the absurdity of the present system.

OK. Two questions: If I have amassed more potatoes than I can ever consume, may I continue own them free from hassle of any entity or person? This is a trap question, because liberal dogma of the day is that Billionaires should NOT be able to keep their 'riches'.
No... it's a trap question because you haven't grown a potato in your life.

So you are ready to put down frontiersmen, men who will take a chance for the advancement of the future.
It might have escaped your attention but mankind walked on the moon 54 years ago and were quite capable of blowing up rockets shortly after launch even way before then.

What specific advancement is it you think Musk will achieve for the future?

Can’t say. But it will be spectacular Remember what Bill Gates did. And he didn’t even have any money.

Why don’t you guys face the question. Marauder wants the government I guess to be in charge of how much people have, and how much they make. So who in the government we do that, and how much $ and how much stuff? 2 cars? 3. ? Can I have 2 vacation homes?
This is where you all are so weak. Marauder Marx wants to dictate how much stuff and money but he never says how much and by whom. Why don’t y’all just say that??
Or you chat about your dislike of me. Zzzzzz

Ok. Yes i agree I don’t think there will any significant advancements for the future made by Musk either.

Not sure what Gates has to do with that.

Just a reminder here Joe. Last year alone, X corp - which includes space x and Tesla - received $2.8 billion in government loans, contracts and subsidies, not counting additional hundreds of millions in incentives and support from other government agencies.

Government decided to make Musk a billionaire.

There is a question here. Please. Who decides, and how much?
And a little teaser, what if people like Gates and musk had been told back when that they can only make $250,000 a year, I think that was Bernie’s number a while back .

Give me break, I mentioned government twice in that first question paragraph. Of course I know that. But the crux of my question is to ask you folks on the forum what do you think that Congress should do… To solve the problems that are driving you liberals crazy.
2 issues. The money that people would be allowed to make, and how many assets such as cars or homes should they be limited to.

What if people like gates and musk were given billions of dollars by US taxpayers?

They would be billionaires who don't need to pay taxes anymore.

I ‘know a person who got rich with what we call OTP…. Other peoples money. Yep, borrowed his seed money, and, yeah, invested it and is doing quite well.
So did Musk.
