Have Bill gates in a sleep over, who will tell you the secrets to screwing people over and spyware tricks

or dining with the foot fungus eating master, Richard Stallman, who will explain in great detail about the origins of GNU and why that finnish guy made GNU largely small in the grand scheme of things.

So he needs to die? What kind of sick logic is that?

You only amass that kind of wealth and power by stepping on the backs of those you deem beneath you.

Billionaires are a cancer on society.

Money and greed are the cancer. To be honest I'm not sure if I would be a different person if I had the same amount of wealth as say like Bill Gates. I'd like to think I would be willing to distribute more accordingly, but I've never been put in that situation before. Can you sat any different?

It would be a much better world with a bounty on the head of anyone worth more than a billion dollars. Pay your employees more, charge your customers less, divest your ownership interests. Buy more products and services from the market, rather than lending to it.

But you're worth more than a billion dollars to someone

Then that someone can kill me.

Well, at least you're dedicated to your ideology. Good trait to have I suppose...
