    Dumb dumbs – understand this

    Money is a zero sum game.

    If the rich now have those dollars – they took it from someone who no longer has those dollars.

    Where did they take it from, you ask?

    Dumb dumbs like you and me

    Tax the rich

  2. Its amazing how the get richer under trumps presidency and we get poorer. Yay. Make America great again.

  3. The ultra wealthy arent interested in cash. They want assets. They want to own literally everything and rent it back to you. 

    Entertainment, appliances, home computers and cars. You will own nothing and be happy.

    00 thousandaires start businesses and try to grow; billionaires spend all efforts to avoid paying taxes and put money into self serving pursuits with limited social value.

  5. With inflation, won’t they set a new record basically every year? It’s been a pretty solid bull market this year, so I’m not really suprised.

    Are they any happier? Seems like they are more miserable than ever. Musk seems very unhappy.

  7. Hmm. And the national dept went up $2.23T in the same time period.

    Starting to feel like they didn’t earn that money.

  8. Gosh I do worry if they’ve got enough.

    Unsure if you’re aware guys but groceries, fuel and electricity is really expensive at the moment so when these billionaires manage to get through a tough year I really gotta give them credit /s
