I’d like people to sneer and get angry over the fact that he does have the money. In Les Miserables when the rich man gave the begger a penny the bishop says, “Look at monsieur buying a penny’s worth of paradise.”


There's no shortage of people sneering and getting angry and billionaires and their money.


Evidently I disagree. Apparently not enough people are angry enough. We elected a man who accepted $30 billion in brides the day before his inauguration and his supporters don’t care.


If you want to make an argument against billionaires, you should start by being numerate.

A billion and a million (the actual number for inauguration donations) are very different numbers, and if you mix the two up accidentally, it mean your world model is horrifically broken. One is plausible, one is absurd in this context.


He got $30 billion in bribes from his crypto coin pump and dump. Instead of making assumptions inquire.
