The ability to be a "billionaire" should be abolished.

There would be no Amazon, Facebook, Google, Microsoft , Nike, Apple  than.
Honestly, all of these companies can go f**k themselves. I don't use Facebook, Apple products, or Nike products because they're trash, which (in the case of the latter two) are made through child labor. The other 3 are virtual monopolies and should be broken up in one way or another anyway.

But, let's put that aside. It's not like Amazon's existance is absolutely, 100% dependent on Jeff Bezos's wealth being greater than $999,999,999.99. It's not like Amazon wouldn't have been founded if that number was the American "wealth cap".

Jeff Bezos's net worth is 120.1 billion. That kind of power - being several millions times richer than the average working-class American - should not be concentrated into the hands of a single person. Much of that money could be used to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure, pump essential money into our education system, and keep Social Security solvent.
