We don't need more billionaires..

[Coyster]

We don't need more billionaires, really? You sound like there's a raffle for billionaires and we don't need to organize that again to make more of them, stop being ridiculous. It is fucking capitalism, it is a competitive market. This people you seem to hate so much did not have free tickets handed to them, they were innovative and many other things people who hate them are not.

most of their wealth are held in company shares and not cash sitting in the bank, if the stock goes down, so does the wealth so basically it’s tied to how well the company is doing.

Being a billionaire doesn’t mean that the person has $200 billion in his bank. If Musk should sell all his Tesla shares today to feed people, Tesla price is going to crash and workers are going to lose their jobs and also those pension funds that hold Tesla are going to lose their money too. So it not simple as to just share the money.

The real problem is not only the billionaires it the  systerm. Government that are suppose to use tax to build schools hospitals and farms fail. If tax systerm should work well and money aren’t stolen poor people are going to feel it than waiting for billionaires to dash them money.

This is entitlement of the highest order. For your information the sky has no limit, there's space in the sky for everyone to fly, perhaps you should work your ass out and become a billionaire like them so that you can save the world with your own billions.

The attractive wealth you see they have today is as a result of the value they bring to humanity. And just like you, they have every right to use their money for whatsoever they wish, so long as it is not against the law of the state. Just find a meaningful way to walk yourself to the top and stop complaining.

OP if you also become  a billionaire today, there's  high chance that you  will also do the very thing you criticise these billionaires for. Some of the billionaires started poor and work their asses off to get to where they are today. The steady grinding, effort and hardwork is what I  like about most of them. I don't indulge in worshipping a person because of their money , they aren't God. We can't be expecting them to solve every social problems( like schools, free education, ending world hunger )we are facing when we have elected governments to do that.  it's their money and its up to them decide how they want to spend it. The government should make sure every rich men , big corporations pay their taxes and anyone who tries to dodge should face punishment. Moreover If a company is exploiting workers through cheap labours, the government should enforce labour protections by making sure they are not underpaid or easily replaced by Ai.  I think this frustration of yours should be focused on the government, they are the one who should provide us with good social amenities.

Permit me to say this. The most dangerous threat to the world economy isn't war, not poverty, not corruption. It's the billionaires. The world had enough money, but ten men hold it.
The world does not have a poverty problem, the world has a greed problem, we don't need more billionaires, we need fewer, some has 2 hundred billion while some is drinking dirty water.

There are certainly people are who are holding the world's resources in their account and they just discuss what happens to the world with their families. I know these men exist and thats why i can tell you to become a billionaire is not exactly easy, because these men at the top usually dont just allow anyone to reach their billionaire status and just as i was saying the other day, rich people use bank to bypass the system and thats why even till tomorrow banks will still be operational even if a larger percent of the population move their money online, because the rich have already perfected this system, the bank will always find a way to run and if you check most banks have gone digital themselves in order to retain users.

It isn't the billionaires fault that you're poor or the rest of the world is poor. They're doing their best in helping the best way they can  because they're the ones creating the jobs that's paying you so why don't you want them around when they're contributing more to the economy then you that can barely provide a decent meal for yourself. We need more billionaires instead of heaving fewer and centralizing the money among themselves, if we can get more people into that billionaire cycle then we might've somehow gotten the charity minded ones in and they'll keep helping the poorer ones. What you should be wishing for is that humans still have humanity in them that when they get rich, they'll be willing to contribute back to the community and help create a conducive environment for everyone to coexist.

Let OP and his fellow poor people go and become creative, sell it and start becoming a billionaire whether it is easy or not, if they become billionaires within some few years of consistency, then they can come down to help the poor as they are insisting. If they cannot, then shame on them for Christ sake.

I don't hate people been poor, I hate poor mentality so much, it gets you nowhere till you change mentality. OP, please change your mentality if you come across my comment.

I understand that you're frustrated concerning how to help stop hunger and uplift more people from poverty but maybe you can start by helping the people around you. Also are the money those billionaires donating to charity not enough or you think they don't help people?They mustn't help every nor publicly announce that they helped someone whenever they do and i want to argue that you're wrong to stay that their workers can't afford the product of their companies, maybe some but not all. It's the government's duty to help reduce the poverty rate of their nation and not the fault of billionaires that people are poor.

[Versatile_choice]

If there are no billionaires in the world, there will still be problems. If the billionaires make their money from legit businesses, I have nothing to complain about.

Absolutely, personally I'm not against anyone I mean trying to stop anyone from becoming a millionaire. Just like you said so long as they are getting it from a good source then there's no problem, I'm still trying to figure out the reason why op doesn't want billionaires anymore. Not that we are the people who are making them to become a billionaire rather, they struggled for themselves before they could get their, imagine struggling for years probably decades and maybe you're at the verge of becoming a billionaire and someone just walk up to you and ask you to stop would you agree? This question goes directly to op .

[Coyster]

I'm still trying to figure out the reason why op doesn't want billionaires anymore.

That's because OP is a communist who believes that a classless society is the solution to all societal problems and would bring an end to hunger and suffering all around the world, lol. Maybe someone needs to remind them that it would only create a dictatorial government and an elite class that would benefit more than others, and in the process create the same inequality they so much hate.

I understand that you're frustrated concerning how to help stop hunger and uplift more people from poverty...

I really doubt that!

With fewer billionaires in the world, the world will have more problems that cannot be solved. Many billionaires have invested in health research that has helped a lot of people. I know of the cancer research. The reason why some cancers can be treated before they become malignant is that people dedicated their time and money to finding solutions.

If there were no billionaires, there would be limited jobs for people. Elon Musk has thousands of workers on his payroll. I don't want to start mentioning. Of course, you know what is right, but because you are used to suffering, you want everyone to be at the same level. Do you think it will change what the world has become? It won't.

...

So what exactly is your point OP because from the way I am seeing it, the end of billionaires in the world would still not provide a complete and long term solution to issue of poverty that the world is struggling with...Even if the wealth of this billionaires are distributed evenly to all citizens, there is no such guarantee that folks would even be able to mange this wealth...Poverty isn't a billionaire problem, it is instead an economic problem which spans from situations like bad government, unemployment, corruption of all kind, bad quality of education and whatnot.. You can't have a government that is only concerned about accumulating wealth for themselves and those close to them instead of providing quality jobs to youth and you then expect poverty to be eliminated...Have this economic problem fixed to a great extent and then you will see changes in the level of poverty that the world has to deal with .. Well you could disagree with all i have said, which is totally fine since everyone is entitled to their own opinions.. But while disagreeing with me, also note that the world is a big world and is able to accommodate anyone and everyone to make their own wealth easily and freely...

After reading the op, sincerely I am surprised, how did we get from blaming the government to blaming the billionaires? These billionaires we see currently sacrificed a lot of time, determination, just to get to a certain position, well guess what? They still work hard to keep up the money and name. I wonder how do many view the value of money, the statement not needing more billionaires indirectly means people should stop working hard including the billionaires mentioned, the moment they stop adding value to their name obviously they will start coming down gradually.
Just curious, if billionaires should start feeding the poor, clothing the needy as always and if they should make this project as part of an outreach, what should the government bodies do with the state allocation or whatever source of revenue that serves the country.
