      And yet if you took all the residential real estate in the country and redistributed it. Every single person would have enough for a home, $200,000+

      The US residential real estate market is over 60 trillion, making the billionaires look poor by comparison.

      Its almost like you’re being lied to about the billionaires being the problem, when really its boomer house owners that hold the majority of the wealth.

          The real question is how.

          Does any business that becomes successful just immediately turn itself over to the government to be sold off to small investors?

          Because the top billionaires today all have almost all their value in single companies that they either started directly or built up themselves.

              So elon is completely untouched because none of his companies are vital and he has no “income” because it’s all capital appreciation?

              Jeff bezos also untouched…

              This is the kind of stupid knee jerk thinking that makes all of this discussion irrelevant.

              You don’t even know how to reach the goal you want, you just feel like it should be something.
