The more money you have the more debt you can take on.
The bullshit the global uber rich don't seem to understand is that the earth is a globe, and finite, not flat and infinite. There is something horribly immoral about 62 individuals having the same wealth equal to 3.5 billion of 7 billion.
The more money you have can also cause you to be a complete selfish power hungry narcissist.
Dept is bullshit. We raise it all the time. The real dept isn't because the rich need all that profit, the real reason we have so much dept is because the top uses the rest of us as their ATM and make bad bets, and dump the losses on us when they lose. And on top of that pay is not keeping up with the cost of living. There is something also horribly wrong when you pay rent of $1,200 a month not for an apartment, not for a room, but for a bunk in a room with others.
There is something horribly wrong with cell phones that cost so much people make payments on them like a car. And everything is going like that, you look at QVC and Home Shopping Network, and just about every product is a "flex pay" option.
It is boiling the lobster slowly. No, the uber rich don't need our money, we don't need to be supporting them through tax cuts for them. We need them to invest directly in workers in livable wages and cheaper cost of living.
