Not saying you are wrong or anything. I just remembered seeing Bill Gates’ name being brought up as a supporter of raising the estate tax for the richest rich people. Its not the article I remembered but didn’t feel like spending time sorting thru the search results for the most reliable source but here is a Forbes article that mentions Gates as supporting raising the estate tax:
forbes.com/…/billionaires-more-taxes-gates-buffet…
There is prolly more/better articles out there but all the top search results today are referencing Trump’s estate tax hike that was announced in the past day or so.

This is a good comeback. Take that wealth and start lobbying to start fixing shit
He could start up a whole ass organization with departments to fight for education, health care, income equality, homelessness and more.
He could resolve homelessness single handedly by funding homes, but what we need is to fix the machine.
I seriously think we need to focus in fixing education and news/social media regulations to increase critical thinking in the masses and stop the suppression of “woke media”
They’re making everyone dumber and brainwashing the masses. How we got our current leader.
Social media platforms are how many Americans get thier information and news. Purposefully spreading misinformation and suppressing non offensive political views should be a massive fine by the FCC.

That’s my point. A “good” billionaire would make moves not promises and donations.
