You. That small percentage could be your son or daughter... Parents needs to handle care for their kids. Often they do not have the necessary funds.

They pay their taxes. It's government spending that's the problem. Elon Musk Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg aren't in charge of the Industrial Military Complex.

that is completely irrelevant to you & your wealth
that is completely out of their control
where the tax revenue is spent is determined by politicians
no benefit / no cost to you
unless you are a layoff Tesla senior executive in which case you are likely sitting on millions of dollars of stock / options
no benefit / no cost to you
WTF you are very confused about why individuals start / run a business
it is to meet a market demand . - which greatly benefits society
nobody is incentivized to cut the American working class out the process and the wealth
that is just loonie left clap trap
apparently not effectively if they require govt subsidies to survive
sounds like the individual pursuit of wealth produces a better out come than expecting reliance on the nanny state
you will soon see how 10 years of left policies plays out
A human right is something that can only be taken away, not given to you
health care requires others time and resources which costs money independent of profit
your demand for health care is an obligation which must be provided by others
this a fundamental truism you ignore because it is convenient for you.
a child's health care is the responsibility of the child's parents
one needs to take responsibility for their off spring
advocate ?
i am just pointing out universal health care is not sustainable & the nanny state is not sustainable.
i do not like what is going to happen to universal health care , but the irreversible damage has been done already
its time for many to wake up about what they feel is a birthright

no
spite is when you seek to steal others wealth via taxation
society has benefited immensely from the innovations / advancements provided via the pursuit of profit / wealth (and access to reliable energy) on all important measures
life expectancies
adject poverty reduction
child mortality rates etc.
do not mess with that
there has always been a wealth gap.
since the day one cave man had an apple and the other cave man did not
rather than having the second caveman walk to the apple tree, you would insist on cutting the one apple in half
it is human nature and you can not change that
but you sure can cause havoc by trying to change human nature via taxation
You're just completely wrong. If the taxes are reinvested back into society properly, it can greatly impact people in wealth and beyond.
America doesn't have a public health care system. That right their is strictly a wealth issue.
Tax revenue is controlled by government? Who's going into government? That's right the billionaire.
That's not even taking into fact the lobbying power they have.
US government shutdown: Elon Musk threatens lawmakers who vote to prevent 'outrageous spending' bill
Elon Musk, world's richest man, has urged Republicans in Congress to reject a stopgap spending bill that could lead to a partial government shutdown. Musk, a major supporter of President-elect Donald Trump, has been tapped to help prune the federal government and voiced his strong opposition to...
And no, most laid of tech workers are not millionaires.
You asked how this affects society and I've showed you.
You're out of your mind John. The whole purpose of laying people off is to incentivize shareholder's returns.
Then after they are laid-off they bring in foreign workers to undercut the american workers.
Twitter Employees on Visas Can’t Just Quit
Either they choose to buckle up and embrace Twitter’s unsure future, or give up their jobs and leave the United States.

Now you are just stating half-sentence opinions.
The fact you had to re-reply me makes me know you're down bad.
If can't steal what you agree to give. But to not give your fair share is corrupt.
Yes they did prove me wrong. According to a UBS study, 53 of the 137 new billionaires inherited their wealth, which was more than the $140.7 billion earned by the 84 new self-made billionaires in the same time period. Personally I think you should be able to pass on 100m, the rest should be taken into custody by govt and privatized and sold off

Concentration of wealth to a degree is necessary I am in the green its not the green that is the problem, its not the top 1% its the top 0.001% At $100 a day you are not picking govts, starting wars and bribing politicians.why?
capitalism and access to affordable reliable energy have done a great job of reducing world wide abject poverty

Extreme poverty: How far have we come, and how far do we still have to go?
The world has made immense progress against extreme poverty, but it is still the reality for almost one in ten people worldwide.ourworldindata.org
if you were really concerned about inequality you would focus on the 8% left hand tail instead of the miniscule right hand green tail

but no
you and the loonie left liberals want to restrict access to fossil fuels kill innovation and turn the 8% red into 58% red

The MIC is part of the problem, you think Musk did not get any MIC money launching sats and providing Starlink to the global network of military bases? You don't think the MIC uses Amazons supply chain?
They pay a lower rate than teachers in the US.
Why should teachers have to pay a higher rate than Musk?
As proven by the guy who gunned down the CEO of a healthcare company in cold blood in the back in NYC and he became a cult hero. A totally cowardly event made him loved.
You can't include heirs. That skews what this topic is about. We're talking about billionaires who achieved their wealth due to innovation, investment and risk. Not their kids.
And why do you feel entitled to someone else's money just because they have more than you?
Of course not all events. But the idea is to mitigate the losses. Universal healthcare does a better job of that. It's been proved by the majority of countries that have some form of socialized health care.
As paid for by the income taxes Canadians pay. We are taking the risk. Canadians are subsidizing themselves and seem to gladly accept it. It's our money that's funding it yet we haven't revolted over this in about 70 years (Tommy Douglas), because we've seen that our system is better.
Exactly. We know how ignorant they are of anything that occurs outside of their borders. They have no idea how much they're getting ripped off on top of the fact are swayed by the fear mongering fed to them by Big Health and the GOP. If they knew the reality they'd revolt. "Oh no!! Socialism. We're becoming Communists. The only good Red is a dead Red. We can't have that."
They pay the most per capita in the world for direct health care and pharmaceuticals, yet their mortality rates/life expectancy rank (off the top of my head) down around only the 40th percentile. They pay more and get less, as the only 1st world country that does not have socialized health care. I have no idea how any rational person can accept that, let alone try to justify it. It's like the whole world has been doing a huge experiment on what's the best/most efficient way to deliver health care to the populace since at least the mid-1900's and the US is the only country that refuses to accept what rest of the world has proved is irrefutable with 70 years of testing.
According to the Socialists on here, wealthy people must be criminals and always cheat the system.
That's the type of thinking that let's Communism take hold where what they really want is everyone to make the same and have the same as everyone else.
They think their socialistic views are actually hiding what they are really after.
There's no better way to convince people who are poor that the cause of their poverty is someone who must have stolen all the money.
And he was a member of a rich, well connected family.
CEO deserved it btw. He was as bad as it gets.
