... median lifetime earnings for the typical U.S. worker stand at $1.7 million...

And Musk makes over 3.5x that amount in a single day.

Three and a half lifetimes of work per day, and nobody wants to do anything about the billionaire problem?

But you don't understand. Billionaires earn their money. They're superior to us. They make that much because they're just much better people than the rest of us. If you stood next to Musk you would notice the heat radiating from his head as his massive Iron-Man like intellect dwarfs your puny brain. You should be in awe of his superiority and beg to have his children (even if you're a guy). Clearly they should be rewarded for all their helping society and their taxes should be LOWERED, not increased.

The REAL billionaire problem is that we don't have enough of them!
