Never forget that WE the PEOPLE do not need billionaires, they need us.

Billionaires are nothing without us. They are in desperate need of us though. ALL the “money” they claim to have came from US. That money came directly out of your pocket and into their pockets. They threaten to ‘leave’ if we don’t cow-tow to their tax demands. Not only should we let them go…we should demand that they do go. The sooner the better.

They have never been anything but a suck on American society and a direct harm to American democracy and especially the economy as it affects the commonwealth. They know that this is true and are preparing for the societal awakening of these truths by building high security compounds where they will live in entrapped inglorious seclusion where they believe they are unassailable, safe from the indignities of common people troubles, which they are responsible for.

Send them on their way as they so love to threaten to do…we don’t need them, never have.

Iran protest killings....
