That's a big problem when their money is not used to further the public interest.

They should be taxed more because they exploit loopholes and pay far less than most of us do.

Or at least your version of public interest. Perhaps you should be taxed more because you use more government services. Everyone must pay their fair share you know.

The very rich are in the position to become liquid & mobile. Try to take too much,
& they can relocate to a much more tax friendly location. I believe it is France that
recently discovered the obvious above first hand.

I don't know how true this is but I heard it said many years ago- if you divide up all the money evenly among the entire population, the same people who have all the money now will get it back in two years.

Getting rich is easy. Keeping it all is the hard part.

Don't confuse salvation by faith with good works. By faith ye are saved.

Re-read Ephesians 2:8 ~ by grace are ye saved through faith and that not of yourselves for it is a gift of God.

Simple solution is don't have anything to count. ALso means there is nothing for anyone to steal. Bonus those that have will be obligated to look after you. No worries no stress.

No argument. Hence my comment that I get to end of my money count really quickly. Lol.

Hey, do you think billionaires count their money to fall asleep at night? They'd have to start in the millions of course, but it would beat counting sheep.

Probably hire someone to count it for them. But they do get to have a million dollar mattress if they want.

I was going to say they probably need a ladder to get into it but then I realized they'd have an elevator.

No elevator. A Ferrari forklift.
