Exactly.  Taxing "the rich" doesn't make a billionaire any poorer, it just prevents anyone else from challenging his wealth/power.

Another reason for gun owners to dump sports, but you won't.

Wasn't dismissing your point, just trying to pin down the reason for the difference in numbers.

Forbes lists 540 current U.S. Billionaires.

https://www.billionairemailinglist.com/billionaires-list.html

It is a fair bet there are at least double that number.  There are many people who's wealth is under the radar. The Forbes list is not gospel, it is just a best guess of who they know about.    

Anyways even using 397 instead of 500, it does not change the reality of my point by altering the % much. Which again, is, this is not a 1% vs the 99% issue. That is a flawed statement. This is a negligible % of the 1% and a very small % of billionaires.

Tech billionaires are, on the whole, extremely socialist, especially the .com ones.  Their entire wealth rests upon the premise that they DO know better, and they firmly believe that they could solve everyone's problems if they were given all the data and sufficient control.

Mark Cuban was never anything more than a huckster.  He sold off his vaporware companies to compuserve (where are they now) and then made a killing selling a streaming video system to yahoo, that doesn't exist anymore, and I never heard anyone mention it.   So that one had a hand in sinking yahoo eventuall too.
The man has never created anything that stands the test of time.

I can tell you for fact that Rupert Murdoch just after 9-11did not want any armed security, but the Board put it upon him.
He agreed to have one retired LE officer.

Good question - chicken or the egg since many of them live in California or the left coast (Bill Gates) so I assume they're liberal aka progressives aka Democrats or were they the ones pushing Democrats to put it on the platform? Old timers how long have Dems been pushing gun control and how did it get started? Kennedy? http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/07/02/billionaire-george-soros-director-steven-spielberg-among-top-donors-to-hillary-clintons-super-pac/




Nope, Jim crow

We're stupid for not using the Dems own race identity politics against them to get rid of the registration.

I don't think it's what I think you thing it is.

We've shown the powerful that they have nothing to fear. If we haven't taken this country back by now, from a goddamned leftist dictator, we're never going to.

Nope, what they fear are actually unarmed SJW/FSA/BLM/BBQ activists who have learned that to get what they want they can simply harass corporations who want to avoid any sort of bad publicity at ALL costs.

These leftist freaks hate rich white people. What better way to pander to the FSA masses than to side with them on an issue that means nothing whatsoever to the wealthy?

That is some grade A bullshit right there.

1. "The best of what America is today" is being crushed by the worst of what America is today.
Someone has to deal with that "worst" part. That's leadership.

2. "They want to conserve their romanticized past." (WTF?)
This is the problem with progressives. They automatically consider your founding principles to be "the past" , as if they are something to be discarded as we hurl ourselves in some "new direction". Just because you're abandoning your current position doesn't mean you are going FORWARD.
