Make yourselves good and topheavy so that you can fall to the ground faster via everyone else- whatever, just move when your state fails. It did it to itself. Honestly, I love rich people because they keep the government in check. All y'all can build your own empire at any given time or check and balance other people. If you have that much, you can't be stupid, so play with the petty mortals.

Do you know how many simple and honest Russian care about those billionaires. Is it not more a sneaky way to make the people envious and more and more slaves of money ? (a capitalists' tricky way to change societies). As far as I am concerned, I prefer my life than Abramovis's or any other oligarch's. Having an army to protect one's life proof how stupid oligarchs can be and what a bad conscience, they have. When our hour to die come; even if we have a 1 meter tick wall to protect ourself, life stop. That is all ! we are dead... Sorry Future Generations ! Sincerely...JCM

To Joseph Walker. There is nothing unbearable for me for not being a billionaire. I am not either a good Christian, but I have a conscience and can make the difference between what is acceptable and what is not tolerable. Actually, one billion peoples go to bed hungry(if they have a bed) and 10 000 children die of starvation, every day. If I was a billionaire I will not sleep well. Beside, most billionaires have stolen or exploited other human to be rich. Forbes, like the Nobel Price is a capitalist kiss-ass institution existing to make people dream. In the present time, Russia has the favor. When I was a young man, I remember of the propaganda about the American dream. Result: I went there and stayed 21 years. For me, it was excellent because I had a good trade and worked for the US aerospace industry. Nevertheless, I left for medical reasons (I love the people and the country but hate that crazy system, which betrayed the founding fathers of the USA)...I believe that fortunes should be limited to let us say 100 millions $ (which is already quiet comfortable). All above going to the State for limiting the inequality and for the social programs. This should be a Worldwide law. As far as I am concerned, even if this does not please certain freedom deceitful lovers, being a billionaire when so many other similar creature suffer is indecent. For laugh: If tomorrow I become President of France; a week later there will not be a single French billionaire left, and they will not move out with their money.
