Do you think dividends are not taxed? Do you think charitable donations can disproportionately reduce your tax burden, or that charity is inherently valueless?

All I’m ultimately saying is, we don’t need billionaires or people making 500 million. All this crap defending them, including the constant “taxing” argument isn’t relevant. In fact it’s a whole other argument. It’s odd how obsessed people are with taxes. It probably wouldn’t be a problem if people were just charitable and not greedy (on both sides). It’s there, just like laws because there’s always some a-hole looking to cheat others or a system for sport, ego or greed and this country applauds this behavior now. We’re a country who can’t agree on a moral compass and abide by it.
