You've been told by your parents or mainstream media that most rich people are criminals who want to take over the world. Rich people are the people who make things happen. They invest and turn ideas into reality. Without rich people, there probably wouldn't be many apartment buildings/complexes, resort areas for our enjoyment, planes/other travel methods, modern day appliances, phones, medicine and pretty much every other thing.most rich, rich people are criminals. They should pay more tax because they were privileged, trump wasn't man made he inherited lots of money. Btw EVERY other politician is bought, well besides trump he is one of the people who buy politicians.
Let's take Elon Musk for example. He is a billionaire, and now uses his money to fund his companies. His companies include Tesla(electric cars), spaceX(space exploration company), openAi(aritical intellegence reasearch), and a solar panel company. All of these will change the world for the better. If the government had taken away his money through taxes, then we won't have electric cars or as many solar panels to reduce pollution or possibly in the future, artificial intelegence.
I believe that money = power. Bernie wants to take away that power, so the government will have that power instead. I think the power should be in businesses and the rich people, more than in the government. There is only 1 government, but millions of businesses and rich people. If the government makes a wrong decision... well too bad. But with millions of businesses, there will be a lot of competition. If a business tries to do something bad or makes a wrong decision such as charging too much, then the market will stop buying from that business and turn to other businesses who are better. That's the magic of capitalism, where mostly the good businesses survive. Let's take cars for example. If the government controlled car production, they would release a few models which would most likely suck, with terrible safety, lots of gas consumption. But with capitalism, companies will constantly be releasing newer and better models than their competing company, which would eventualy lead to a lot safer cars hat use a lot less gas. That's why I think the power should be in the hands of businesses and rich people, less in the government. But Bernie wants to take power away from these people.
