But millionaires only but nice houses and maybe a nice car or two, and send their kids to a nice college. Billionaires invest in companies that create many jobs. Maybe you can argue the houses and colleges create even more jobs, idk. | ||||||||

this is a very weird perspective that you haven't done even cursory math on, if we're talking a million millionaires... that's a million houses, two million cars, a million tuitions... has elon musk made it possible for a million people to own houses, cars, and pay tuition? no! does he own multiple houses, cars, private jets, yachts, and other bullshit himself? yes! he employs maybe 200k people directly? likely a lot less... so we're not even talking quarter of the same economic benefit reach he also wielded his wealth as power to dismantle government systems single-handedly that lost many people jobs and didn't even scratch the surface of the country's debt people really need to start thinking critically about billionaires, they are not doing anything for you personally | ||||||||

We've never had this many billionaires, and they've never been this rich. So following your logic, the country should be more prosperous than ever, right? | ||||||||
