Billionaires and (soon to be) trillionaires shouldn't exist, the fact they do is disgusting. That level of wealth is incomprehensible to me.

Millionaires make more than 65x the average part-time salary in the UK, and 21x more than the full-time average. That alone was a ridiculous display of greed.

We need to start heavily taxing the wealthy. Start doing it based on percentage different compared to the national minimum after a certain threshold.
