What's the problem with hoarding? There's no difference between a billion dollars stuffed under the mattress, never to be spent, and a billion dollars burned up in a fire. If the rich aren't spending, they are not consuming resources or causing pollution, so it's as if their money never existed. And if they do one day decide to draw down their accounts, then it wasn't being hoarded.

Thankfully the economy is not in fact a card game, and no billionaire can force you to piss yourself.

Just don't say that to a billionaire. It might make for an unpleasant learning experience.
