How much is "too much"? In ten years it will likely be far lower than where it starts.
Who decides how much is "too much"? The same people who decide what to do with it.
What evidence do you have that they will handle the money any more responsibly than
the person they took it from?

Be careful using the measure of "worth". You might not be worth as much to them as you
think you are.

In actuality, Jeff Bezos having $1B or $1T makes no difference to your life whatsoever.
If you take all of his wealth you can give everyone on the planet $15. Then what? Pillage
the fortunes of the next two on the list? This is not sustainable.

"No," you say. "Only give it to people in the US." You are not more worthy simply because
you were accidentally born in the same country as Jeff Bezos.

So, we can give it all to a government that is trillions in debt demonstrating they have no
clue how to handle money.

Or, we can leave these guys alone. Your life is better because Amazon exists. Electric cars are sold
today because Elon Musk had more money than you think he should. Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk are
both personally funding spaceflight.

My vote is for trillionaires.

It isn't as straight forward as Mr. Moyer suggests. The order you enter the polling place and sign your name is not the same order you finish voting and place your ballot in the box. You have a pretty good guess during slow periods, but not during the rush.


By the way, I encourage everyone to try their hand at working the polls for several reasons:

  • If you don't trust the system, get in there and keep an eye on them.
  • Most of the workers are getting on in years. As careful as they are, their eyesight and memories are starting to go.
  • When they are gone, we need someone who knows how the system works.
  • It's good for you.
