    I think reining them in is enough. We can habe billionaires in a green economy.

    I totally agree that billionaires should not exist, but I think climate change is more important and we shouldn’t lose sight of that.

      The average billionaire emits 1 million times more CO2 than the average 90%er. There are about 3000 of them

      You can’t reign them in when the reigns are for purchase You can’t prevent them from purchasing the reigns because when the price tag is big enough, everything is for sale You can’t stop them from purchasing reigns altogether because they’ll go to a different market who can, then force the market to be open to them They will do everything in their power to KEEP their power, and to prevent them from EVER LOSING their power There IS ONLY ONE WAY to stop billionaires from having power and it is to stop them from being billionaires in any way available
