@drtanner Ok let me 1st start by saying that I have a strong disdain for billionaires in our country but not all of them were born to wealth and that's the only way they became rich. Even though I do not like them I will give you two, (even though there are more then two) examples Jeff Bezos and Steve Jobs both did not come from money, both started their companies Amazon and Apple by themselves with a few other people working hard to make what the companies become. Both were intelligent with a good ideas and were ruthless with implementing them. And they both happen to be white males so that doesn't hurt anything especially in the US. Even though I'm a fan of either facts are facts, truth is truth. So it is possible to start at nothing and become a billionaire in the US but you have to be damn intelligent have a really good idea and know how to implement it. Outside of that yes most of them like the useless worthless piece of crap Elon Musk did come from money, blow hard now owns Twitter and throws his opinion everywhere like a fucking matters. The true problem is not the billionaires the problem is is our government who has chosen to not tax them. You, me and everyone else pays more taxes per year than billionaires, millionaires and corporations that makes billions of dollars. Jeff Bezos the 3rd richest man in the world pays no taxes! That is where the wealth gap is coming from. We have a worst wealth gap in our country now than they did during the great depression. That's why younger generations cannot afford the American dream which I'm sad to say is very much a dead which is to buy a home and have a better life than their parents did. That is no longer possible in our country. The billionaires in the US are now oligarchs here! As we'veheard 1000+ times they have 99% of wealth in our country. Its up to our government to start taxing the living shit out of them! They need to bring back the inheritance tax also, so when these billionaires die their money will actually do some good, instead of it all going to their spoiled brats! Now will we even see our Congress do this... I'm not holding my breath.
We could end homeless in the US but only if lose the narrative that all homeless people are junkies, alcoholics, insane, they want to be there, it's their own fault why should we help them(that's a real one, a friend of my mom back in the day said that). The other thing as a whole the US suffers from is fucking lack of empathy, kindness, compassion, caring about others outside our selfs and our families, tunnel vision. And huge case of not giving a fuck!!!! We are not taught to by our parents or at school empathy for others, kindness, compassion or to treat others as human beings.
