> It's much, much easier to live and work in a foreign country today. And it's only getting easier as technology improves.

So let the current oligarchs exile themselves and we'll do what we can to make sure no more Bezos are created again.

I wonder if your school situation has to do how schools are funded in the United States in particular. It sounds like your school needs more tax money from richer parts of the country then where you grew up.

>> Governments invest a lot in their country, their citizens, education, a healthy market, etc. > Do they?

They absolutely do. What I've seen of other countries's welfare states is grand.

> I find that most people are successful despite governments, not because of them.

Universal Healthcare. Universal shelter. Public transportation. Environmental protection. Welfare. Universal Education. Massive wealth redistribution. Markets. Most rich countries do these things with the government and are better for it. Huge numbers of Americans are not successful because this country lacks these things, and is actively prevented from having them.

But I want more Bezos, Gates, Buffets, and Musks, not fewer.

They personally are not great people, but the system that has enabled them to hoard personal wealth and leave the streets full of the destitute will be destroyed.

The most important thing, of course, is to eliminate poverty and protect the planet. The next most important thing is destroy oligarch’s power so they don’t continue to jeopardize the most important things. And, practically in a scarcity economy, capture their mis allocated resources for better ends.

Wanting more wealth hoarded by the few is not a good thing to want.
