Comment Re:Why is this man allowed to keep so much money? (Score 2) 552

The federal government would spend all of Bill Gates money in like a week.

What's your plan for week two?

By the way, Bill Gates doesn't actually have all of that money. He has ASSETS which are worth all of that money.

Guess what? In order to confiscate all of his wealth, you have to confiscate those assets. Except those assets aren’t money, who are you going to sell the assets to? Who’s going to buy the assets if they know that the government could just confiscate them?

Nope. Gas stations could charge $10/gallon if they so desired. No law against it.

The only laws that might apply is they can't charge high prices during emergencies.

What is interesting even though they could charge $10/gallon if they wanted to, something magically prevents them from doing it, and it's not a government law.

This is how all laws are passed.

Just look at the FDA, most licensing rackets, 'consumer protections', 'banking regulations' and so on. Sorry folks, they're not there to improve safety. They make them to rig the market in the favor of power players. They don't care about consumers.

All they have to do is scare you into believing without them, all sorts of bad things will happen. It's protection racket, expert mode.
