Here's something for you CaptainExplosion:
It's been in the tabloids lately that Turkey's Erdogan has some dirt on Jared Kushner that may implicate Trump in the conspiracy for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. It certainly lines up with the events reported on by general news sources in that Kushner has repeatedly tried to accuse Khashoggi as a terrorist. The suggested dirt is a recorded phone conversation between Kushner and the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman.
Granted, tabloids are often not correct in their news, they are also often to first to break the majority of scandals to the press.
What if Erdogan used that information to persuade Trump to pull troops from Syria to allow the attacks on his (Erdogan's) enemies to occur?

If so then it's yet another reason somebody needs to blow Erdogan's brains out.

I really hope to God you don't honestly believe this about every single wealthy person there is.
You do realize how most (key word most) people get wealthy right? The business owners and investors that worked their asses off for 12-15 hour days 7 days a week? Yea those ones. The way that most wealthy people I see in my life in the business world can be described. The ones that never hang out with their kids because they are too busy working all the time. The ones that have shitty marriages cause they care more about their job and money than their significant others.
I'm not saying wealthy people are fantastic people (but I also would never put an all encompassing explanation about every single one of them and their characteristics)...but that they all never worked a day in their lives? That is a brand flipping new one for me to hear.
Wow.
Have you ever even seen how little of a life Elon Musk has? The guy works like 100+ hours a week. You think Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, etc got to where they are with absolutely zero work? That really is a certain kind of special comment.
Just to make clear YET AGAIN, cause I already know how you are going to respond. I'm not inferring they shouldn't pay more taxes, that they can't be pieces of shit (who isn't), that they are selfish about their money, and a million other things. But that not one of them worked a day in their lives? Laugh. Out. Loud.

Sure, Bill Gates didn't get there without hard work, but Jeff Bezos is the richest shit stain on the planet, while his staff are practically in poverty.
One person gets to buy multiple mansions, cruise ships, etc. while everyone else can barely get a decent meal everyday? How's that fair?
Name at least one, ONE billionaire who's helping people instead of fucking them over, and maybe I'll change my mind about the wealthy.

#1 - I never said they were great people. I said your comment that they never worked a day in their life was a bunch of bogus. Now you are changing it to "without hard work" as if your job is so much harder than an office job just because it might involve physical labor. You have absolutely no clue. I've worked 20 hour days before with an office job. You don't think the stress behind that is hard? How does it make you feel when you have to work through personal finances all day, and then other adult decisions. Most people indicate it is tiring work that exhausts them. Welcome to the type of thinking required for many office jobs. Heck, most people pay somebody (who is ironically way wealthier than them) to help them with all of their personal finance decisions cause it is too hard for them.
#2 - I could list plenty of people that seem quite decent (Warren Buffett for instance), but it is quite clear you don't actually want to hear that at all. You truly just want to believe that their accumulation of wealth is evil.
#3 - And your comment regarding mansions and meals etc. You do realize that zero additional solutions to this have been proposed as a result of these wealth taxes etc. I would guess it has something to do with there are already programs in place for this.
