> no single person should even own...

I don't get this, why? Because I exist I deserve equal money as everyone else?

If I do succeed I will definitely buy toys (fast cars) but yeah I will help, as there is a cap to minimum needs. Also I don't like being a target eg. stealth wealth they say that I'm currently far from.



Alright then, if you absolutely must have a society were people get paid 10M a year, then let's agree to pay all cleaning staff, hospital staff, garbage collectors etc etc 10M and the rest gets enough to live a decent life. How about that?


Why, it's merit. A CEO can affect 20,000 people's lives/jobs.

Anyway I'm not trying to argue this. I do believe billions is excessive in money to have and also understand it's not liquid. But yeah I think I gotta get there, maybe I too will be an aho with that much money.

Even the small amount in comparison that I give away I have this feeling of "mine", why should I? (I have given away at least $70K to my own siblings)

Edit: I'm a mediocre person mentally so I doubt I'll get too high but I can get my fun cars they're under a million the ones I want. I have started to want land more than a car though, you can hit 200mph under $100K

Edit: I'm also a nice/meek person maybe that is why I'm poor ha
