The fact that they can even get that many who are willing to be in positions he appoints is crazy. Imagine the level of ego and megalomania you need to have to have unfathomable, practically infinite wealth, yet still want to be in the public eye and controlling politics.

I know it's cliché but it's true for most people when they say "if I had a billion dollars, nobody I don't know would ever see or hear about me ever again". We'd be too busy doing literally whatever we want, to give a fuck about making sure we avoid taxes and consistently ranting about "woke".

If I was a billionaire, I’d take great pride in paying enough taxes to improve the society around me and still have unlimited disposable income. Taxes would benefit me in that:

• my neighbourhood would look nice and clean

• would be safe

• would have good education. Thus, good future employees for my company and interesting people to be friends with.

• would have good healthcare and hospitals. Thus healthy employees for my company, and good, accessible care for myself and my loved ones cause we all end up needing care someday.

• would have happy people with good mental health around me.

I literally don’t know who wants to look out of their castle window and see misery.
