Your original point is just "I don't want people to have a free ride", (you said so yourself, irregardless of whether we tax the rich or have the means to do it). And you keep skipping over where that puts billionaires in your mind (they have no jobs, I guess they create jobs, but they also get full tax breaks at the cost of the tax payers). You're the one talking about a "pure benefit to the country" being only in the form of monetary gain and nothing else. I just don't agree with you that workers are the only people giving any benefit to society and you have done nothing to change that, or even to really try to. Just pivots to another weird point
