Let's all spare a tear for the billionaires like Sergey, who may suffer grievous financial harm from a wealth tax. He might even have to own fewer private jets!

Let's all spare a tear for the billionaires like Sergey, who may suffer grievous financial harm from a wealth tax. He might even have to own fewer private jets! The horror.
- senectus1 7mo agoin my experience (at least for the billionaire I worked for), most billionaires think like most capitalists do. Money is just a tool, a tool to get stuff done. sure it lest them live an easy lifestyle (by mere mortal reckoning). But its primary use is as leverage to make the world work like lego bricks does to everyone else... They also have a deep disdain of Governments ability to do competent things with all that lego. They dont want to give lego to a ever shifting group of people that do mostly useless things with the lego. THEY are driven to make the lego do things they view as useful. they dont want to see that lego wasted. I'm not forgiving their abuse of the lego, I'm making an observation.
