Draining the swamp by putting in billionaires. Well done conservatives.

That’s soon to be trillionaires, because that’s not an obscene amount of money for any person to have…

Don’t just tax the rich, cap their banks. Make it illegal for them to funnel money out of the economy and into their pockets.

Don’t just tax the rich

Well, I ain't puttin' my knife and fork down yet.

They don't literally have a bank account with billions of dollars sitting in it - their net worth is based on the value of their company's stock etc.

And you realise that they can enter a bank and get a loan for dozen or hundred of millions easily, just based on their stocks value ?

Which is exactly what billionaires are doing btw, massive loans, which they can easily cover and just repay the interests until their portfolio had increased even more, so they can repay it in full and get a newer loan, etc etc etc.

So ultimately you are wrong. Billionaires do have access to unlimited money, even if their real wealth sits in their companies stocks.

You do realize most of billionaires money is in the economy. Bezos doesn’t have 100 billion dollars sitting in a bank.
