About fucking time.

Citizen's United (and similar corruption) took away our ability to regulate tech billionaires, but we still out number them.

If they want to stop being scared, they can curb their parasitic behaviors and return the billions they have extracted.

Edit: Getting off of the list of the world's billionaires is a path of with fancy meals, accolates, ribon ceremonies, and thank you letters from thankful children.

Billionaires have a moral obligation to a cushy job (become non-billionares), and they aren't doing it, today.

Exactly. They have the means to change their behavior. If they don't, they will suffer the consequences. Just like mussolini and Gaddafi
