And if you take away their money, then who is going to fund the government and all those wealth redistribution programs?

There are US state governments discovering this right now. I would have thought it was obvious.

It is obvious, it is also the result of willful blindness.

That is a strawman argument. Nobody is seriously arguing to take all the money. I called out extreme wealth disparity, and implied it was a problem. You can disagree at the latter, but you cannot disagree with the former.

They are arguing to take enough to destroy the businesses they create.

Remember Bernie Sanders saying billionaires should not exist? That's taking away 99.9% of Musk's wealth.

Fine by me.
