There are a myriad of news articles here on Lemmy that display the abhorrent influence billionaires have on our society (especially the US, where I reside).

They barely spend money on these things, it’s worth understanding what billionaire really means. You could levey hundred percent taxes on these things and billionaires wouldn’t even notice
yes because they employ tax avoidance people in general and they make more money paying those people to avoid tax all over the place than if they were taxed so it’s a net gain.
to be clear, they don’t even know they are lobbying for tax on these things to be low. their people do it.
and again, to be clear, it’s not the money we care about, its the other 995 million that we should be focusing on nixing.
