I’m honestly fine with millionaires, especially those who actually produce something of value to society— and within the purview of a truly progressive tax system.
Millionaires != Billionaires. That is, there are three orders of magnitude difference between a million and a billion.
1 Million seconds is 11 days.
1 Billion seconds is nearly 32 years.
Finally, I’ll take someone speaking the truth from their position of power than spreading lies and hate.
Edit:
As a bonus to drive the point home: compare when you double each of those values: 22 days vs. 64 years, and so on…
Moreover:
1 Trillion seconds is 31,709 YEARS.
The known wealth of the 750ish billionaires in America (not counting corporate coffers and near-billionaires) is around 7 Trillion dollars.
Imagine what we could do as a nation with that sort of money just sitting at the top, going either unspent or toward wasteful garbage or political bribery.
She’s not wrong but it sounds a bit hollow coming from someone worth millions.
I mean the bit about people being addicted to greed. Not the mass murdering bit.
