I’ve spent time among the very very poor and I’ve spent time among the very very rich. The gap that exists there should not exist. Some have so much money they honestly don’t know what to do with it, and others have so little money they honestly don’t know what to do.

We need a #WealthTax: 2% on $50M and over, plus an additional 1% on billionaires. Everyone knows it. One of the wealthiest men I’ve ever known once said to me, “My taxes are so low it’s obscene.”

And the damnest thing: there is no difference between the two groups in terms of intelligence or motivation. Only opportunity.

They don’t know what to do with it yet they never stop trying to make more and they never do anything truly meaningful with it. Philanthropic efforts are minuscule compared to their total wealth.

The problem is that the govt does such a poor job of managing the funds that they already have.
Replying to @marwilliamson
The focus should be on providing a minimum living standard for those who need it and stop focusing on a cap of what the acceptable amount of money is.

Billionaires should absolutely exist.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Billionaires and millionaires are addicted to money. It is an addiction that harms people worldwide and the only addiction we don't have a war on.
