Indian Creek Village,
the “Billionaire Bunker” near Miami,
couldn’t get approval to discharge its waste into a neighboring town’s sewer lines.
So the village quietly persuaded state lawmakers to force the issue.
In a world where billionaires are increasingly exercising political clout,
the fight over sewage in Indian Creek suggests the degree to which their influence is extending not just to policy in the White House and Congress but to some of the most foundat…

I've seen outrage expressed at this one percent decrease of the lowest marginal tax rate as "not being a 'middle-class tax cut' since everyone -- billionaires included -- will benefit from it."
It's true; it means that anyone making more than $57,375 will pay 1% less on that first $57K. So, yes, a billionaire and I will both pay $573.75 less. That's how tax brackets work.
It's bad enough that some people don't understand taxation; it's worse that others exploit that to foment outrage.

Pity the poor billionaire who will never be happy, never be satisfied, never achieve whatever he is hoping to achieve, because there is never ever going to be enough. The greed eats away like a cancer and the rest of the world will suffer for it.

Team Trump vs. Team Musk: Republicans torn as billionaire bromance ends
At the heart of the breakup is the pair's disagreement over President Donald Trump's “big, beautiful bill,” which Elon Musk has called a “disgusting abomination."

Last week, billionaire and onetime unofficial co-president Elon Musk ended his tenure as a special government employee after four months of spreading chaos, misery, and death throughout the federal government and world.
Much reporting has attributed his departure to philosophical differences with Trump.
Musk has criticized various Trump policies,
most recently the House GOP spending bill for adding trillions to the federal deficit.
But a crucial factor in Musk’s dep…

Musk is one of the most malignant people ever to hold a position of influence in American politics.
His actions, without exaggeration, have devastated the health and security of American society
