All politicians become corrupt in short time, or are sidelined. If the few good ones could be kicked out, they would be, but since they're elected, they just get neutralized. We watched that real-time with Bernie's Presidential runs.

All billionaires are bad, money/power will corrupt anyone in the worst way. Yes, Bill Gates is bad, which hopefully, finally is accepted by most people. But, also Melinda French Gates and MacKenzie Scott. ABAB

The only people who think Bill Gates isn’t bad where those born after he left Microsoft. He was the Bezos of his time.

His foundation played a major part in eliminating guinea worm. Imagine all the good we could do with his hoarded wealth. The diseases we could cure if we didn't allow the elite to hoard our wealth
