Your scale is wrong because the economy is around 29 trillion a year just in the usa so the present value of the future is around 322 trillion. Even the richest

Your scale is wrong because the economy is around 29 trillion a year just in the usa so the present value of the future is around 322 trillion. Even the richest billionaire has wealth that is only 0.09 percent of that and a bunch of his wealth is global not just usa based. They would be a rounding error except their wealth is usually concentrated in large companies they have founded giving them outsized control of the company (or their ancestor founded) that are themselves concentrated in a small set of industries or one industry. Even then they wouldnt matter except for the market power the company exerts to unfairly benefit itself and ruin a level playing field stopping a better but smaller company from outcompeting them. The solution is the same one i already recommended: remedy the market power abuse situation of the company by breaking it up (my defacto preference) or rwgulating it more aggressively (not as good because it opens up political corruption/extortion weakening democracy).
