    I’m not quite sure what you’re missing. The entire premise of those post and this thread is that we don’t think billionaires should be allowed to keep their money and power because being a billionaire is morally wrong. Why would we let them “win?”

    The money goes where they want it to go, which is frequently not where it’s needed.

    And you are correct, they should not have the money, since they didn’t earn it. They also shouldn’t get to decide where it goes, since they aren’t suited to make those decisions. It should be taken from them.

    They sure aren’t. They give up their wealth, but by doing so gain more power. They get to decide what is important for the world by dumping millions of dollars in their favourite charities. Charities that they conveniently get to put their names on to feel good about themselves.

    Because Mussolini wasn’t just some tinpot dictator. He was the founder of modern fascism. He changed the entire world. Hundreds of millions of people died, empires crumbled, and history was written because of what he did. He wasn’t just “an Italian one.”
