     @HappynSantaMarta It's true, not all billionaires are bad. After all there are some dead billionaires. @noodlemaz @nspugh

     @noodlemaz @nspugh which sparkes the dilemma of Karma. the more good you do and the more you pay it foreward, the more you receive in return. Dolly spends $100's of millions a year in charities trying to give it away, which makes her loved more, which brings her more in return... Taylor is discovering this in the same manor. while I have NO PROBLEMS with "capping an income or even a progressive tax rate at 99% or even 100% over 1 billion. claiming there are no good billionaires is a false

     Pudão repeated this.

     @HappynSantaMarta @nspugh people can do good without amassing obscene wealth to levels no one is capable of earning.

     People don't have to own and use private jets.

     Billionaires should not exist
     Doesn't mean I want anyone to kill Dolly 🙄 just don't let people amass and keep that wealth.
     If it comes to French rev type situations, she's back of the line and I'm sure would give away plenty so it wouldn't even be needed.

     @HappynSantaMarta @nspugh except for polluting the planet extensively, far more than individuals who aren't loaded.
     It should be, it can be, possible to share art without endless private flights
