    In countries without capitalism and property rights, the billionaires are the government and the judiciary and the military.

    In the US, they just have solidified a really good means of controlling it… I mean, the amount we don’t tax them, the super PACs we let them contribute to, and the control they have over our media is definitely a form of control that may not be “as bad” as other systems (arguably) but it seems like it’s really similar.
