Why are people not protesting ? Businesses should stop buying Microsoft licenses and that should force Microsoft to remove bill gates completely from the company. Same should be done with Musk, trump etc.

Microsoft could have shared the company’s wealth with the employees who actually EARNED the money and made the company successful, but instead it all accumulated with the guy who mostly said “That’s a good idea, go do that,” (while only being successful about 50% of the time), and kept ALL the money for that “work,” while paying the people who did the actual work as little as he could legally get away with.
So, the thing about that assertion is, Bill Gates wealth came from his ownership of shares of the company, Microsoft.
It’s not that Bill has been funneling all the income of the company into his pockets, no, it’s that when he sells shares of the company then other people are willing to pay massive sums for it because everyone has collectively agreed the company is extremely valuable.
This sort of wealth is why the DNC propose an unrealized gains tax for the rich.
Right… people are aware of this. Don’t pretend we’re arguing about how shares work. What we are saying is that the system being setup like this is fundamentally broken and the scam is in the design.
