Two of Silicon Valley’s famous venture capitalists make the case for backing Trump: that their ability to make money is the only value that matters.

    Please remember, Rich people aren’t skilled - they’re lucky. It actually seems to cause a crisis of ego when you get ridiculously rich because you have so much more than other people (some of who you looked up to) and feel the need to some how rationalize why it was you who got so rich.

    Honestly, I kinda feel bad for these folks - but I have a solution! So there’s a very special treatment plan I’ve developed where we take some (not all, just a decent chunk) of their wealth. We’ll use that wealth to make other people wealthy then the formerly rich people can look at their friends and family - see they have the enough to live a good life and then feel pride that they contributed to such a good society!

    I do have a plan B, but I’m still trying to secure my guillotine budget. I’ll let yall know when I’m ready to demo it, I’m thinking of starting the rollout in Silicon Valley.

      Some rich people are skilled, but they’re generally entertainers or athletes. And I wouldn’t listen to them about politics either.
