I just dont get it...whats the point of making more than 300k a year. If i was to make at least 80k a year i would be comfortable as hell and would live a happy lifestyle. People who make millions a year are something else, but people making billions are just on another level of spoiled.

Billionaires should be illegal. For someone to have that kind of wealth means that numerous other people are being deprived of a reasonable standard of living.

I figure they are content with the cities and roads we have built them, now we can die so they can have full run of the playground.

This is the total truth. I think people should be regulated with a welth tax. Anything over a certain amount should be 100% taxed, but there meeds to be stipulations with it. If you own a business you cant have your money in an offshore acount and must be in the country the companies main contributer. Something along these lines.
