Having a lot of rich people is actually a very good thing (assuming they are enterprising folks creating jobs along the way).

Ideally we should have a lot of billionaires.

Hopefully one day additional wealth will be redundant to these folks.

I agree with Trump's tax plan, but he should raise the no tax bracket to 75K

Poor babies. They obviously need another tax cut. And many of the GOP candidates are ready to give it to them if they'll just put one of them in office.

"Wow ... Just wow?" You sound intelligent. Isn't that wonderful that in America one can become rich! God Bless America!

Now, if we could just get rid of the damn liberals so that more people might have a chance! Democrats want to keep people poor and dependent on government. They do everything in their power to destroy incentive, opportunity, and discourage risk taking (which is what entrepreneurs do) and job creation.

Well, yes and now. I hear Bezos is a slave driver despite making 16 billion. Her could easily live with 15.5 billion and treat his employees a bit better. What is the point?

"Mark Zuckerberg"
Mark Z, creates a knock off of Myspace and becomes one of the ten richest men in the world. Better to be lucky then good!

Liberals don't understand the concept of "creating wealth." They think there is only one big pie, and when someone becomes rich, it is at someone else's expense. They don't understand economics. They've been brainwashed.

Hey! Elizabeth Warren! Is that you? (She thinks the system is rigged, but it's her Party that has rigged it)
