The power and budget of the government makes billionaires look poor.

Blaming billionaires is failure to see that the money is already available, it's just that the voters refuse to stand up. Why would more money in the government's hands change anything?

Because billionaires are already having undue influence over politics and are funding policies that don’t always have the support of the voters. Why not tax them more and let the representatives of the people make decisions independently for better or for worse.
