PUTNEY — Do you know what the most dangerous disease is on Earth? A disease so dangerous, it is a plague engulfing the planet with death?
Billionosis.
The effects of billionosis are everywhere, but relatively small numbers of humans are affected by it.
Billionosis is a disease of the psyche, where no amount of wealth is enough and the sufferer is fixated with increasing the numbers in the ledger.
In most cases, these sufferers rig the accounting system for their own benefit, with taxation, fees, and compliance costs.
Because of their sickness, sufferers of billionosis will devise extremely dangerous scenarios for others. They even destroy their own needs for life, such as as clean water, clean air, and a naturally healthy environment. These individuals exhibit paranoia at contact with regular people, and they often take actions that are extremely provocative.
We must be vigilant for early signs of billionosis in our politicians. We must evaluate our elected politicians on a case-by-case basis, making certain that they do not act as if they were better than regular people and do not act as if they should have preferential economic treatment simply because they are our public servants.
Have they taken a career in politics as a plan to gain proximity to billionosis-suffering billionaires?
We should ask ourselves this. We are electing public servants, not electing a ruling class, correct?
So where politicians act as if they are above it all, more important and more valuable than regular people, we should take note of the behaviors as warning signs of billionosis.
Money is not speech, and corporations are not people. I would venture today that American people and people the world over do not need protection from one another so much as they need protection from billionosis.
