the tweet replies are litterally what Ayn Rand explained in Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead.

Honestly, I could say the same about near all Dems in DC. And quite a few Republicans.

Pure nonsense--the usual with her.

Yep...then come the camps, and mass murder, etc...
It's probably all a big misunderstanding. No one in this great country would really advocate socialist policies.

Then why are billionaires the answer to all of our budget problems?

Let's see.
If Jeff Bezos decided to cash out and close Amazon, fire every worker, shut down the website so that sellers couldn't use the marketplace... Who would suffer more?
Help me out, leftists:
A.) Bezos with billions, retired on an island.
B.) The working class that was employed or sold through the marketplace?

Are most Billionaires somehow not members of the working class?

Well the vast majority of Bezos' wealth is due to Amazon stock, which is tied to the performance of the company. If he folded the company he would certainly be rich, but at a fraction of his current net worth.
I'm sure the workers would go out and find another low-paying job.

So according to you:
A.) Bezos would "certainly be rich"
B.) The workers would be unemployed and have to "find another low-paying job."
Can you tell me which one is better off? A or B?

We don’t have to be factually correct. We need to be morally correct.

So by diluting the workforce with less demand and more supply, that would be about the same for the average Amazon worker?

The workers wouldn’t all find jobs if all the rich guys quit

The fact is that Capitalism does NOT stop "you" from setting up your socialist dream. If the think workers should "own" the company and that the workers are more valuable than the ownership...go start a "worker owned" company and start dominating.
Hell, you are free to buy land and set up a commune and run it with shared everything, etc.
So, if I can 'dominate' by having my fellow workers be the owners / managers...why the frick ain't I???

These idiots actually think that the worker, who, without the factory, would have no place to work, is somehow more important than the guy who had the idea, invested the cash and built the factory.

By hiring labor to do so.
