1. We would be better off without them

Millionaires and billionaires are not the blessing that so many seem to believe. We are entrenched in our problems because of them. In their efforts to protect their own wealth, they stifle progress in critical areas of concern that affect everyone - healthcare, energy, water, agricultural, technology, education, etc. You name it, someone's profiting from the system as is and they are doing whatever they can to keep it that way.

2. This doesn't surprise me, at all.

When I was in business, the hardest people to get payments from were the wealthy. Some would take 6 months to pay.

These people got the advantage of up-front publicity for pledging huge amounts. Like Trump, that was important "but don't expect me to actually pay."

3. Who didn't see this coming?

Oh right, probably the same people still waiting for that trickle down.
