UN estimates it costs $30B to end world hunger
World has ~2200 Billionaires worth $8.7T
So for .3% of their worth-they could end world hunger
That's like someone who makes $52K/year spending $3/week to end world hunger
1B ppl starve annually so 2200 can buy a 40th yacht
To those arguing it's wrong to "give away billionaires' money," what you're actually arguing is:
•Starving 1B people is better than slightly raising taxes on 2200 people
•Poverty is a life choice not a life sentence
These lies have collapsed past nations-& will collapse ours

So what you're saying is instead of Biden laundering money through Ukraine he should end world hunger with it... Good idea.

Are you a pro Russia troll? Or an anti tax troll? Or both?
Either way, fuck biden, but tax money isn't his, so while I agree that money already in the tax pot would be better spent on feeding people than on war, the point is the money from those who personally have most isn't ever making it that far.

I bet you're one of those "both sides are bad" types.
