Billionaires don't earn their money. Nobody can earn that much because nobody is that valuable. The ultra wealthy only exist, because they stole from the people below them on the ladder. They stole their wages, benefits, pensions, unions, and pocketed the money. If you're ultra rich, you did it by fucking over the people below you.

And it's time we fuck them right back.

If we could, we would have already. We can't really, and he is in a position to be as greedy as he can possibly imagine. $193M is in his pocket right? We all mad but who is gonna take it away? Appeals to decency are cute but a waste of time. He put himself in a position where he can sell things that he didn't make nor that belong to him and it's all legal and that's reality.

Of course we could. We just don't think it's worth it because we're not starving to death at large. We're in the comfort zone still where it's better to sit down and be mostly obedient.
