      I want enough money to go on a trip and visit a friend without having to scrimp and save to do it, not enough money to buy an airline and demand people pay me $40 if they want to sit with their spouse

    If I had a billion dollars I wouldn’t work another fucking day in my life.

    Billionaires have more money than they could ever spend, and spend so much time and effort trying to increase the size of the hoard and make sure they don’t have to pay an extra fraction of it in taxes. It’s a sickness.

    You don’t become a billionaire without being mentally ill, and for some reason we think the mentally ill are the most fit to run corporations.

      Hell, you can give away 990 million of it, buy a house, put what’s left in a high yield savings account, and live comfortably on the interest alone for the rest of your life.

    I think this stems from a misunderstanding of how much money a billion dollars is

      When we say “the billionaires,” Americans think that means anyone who’s ever been on a TV show or maybe Steve from church who has a boat and a vacation home.
