But I went down, of course, because now I'm on the other side of it. And I got really defensive when I saw this person. I'm not a billionaire on Twitter attacking that. Here I'm someone who has given millions of dollars to the government, millions of dollars to education, to all these services, to building bridges.

So my contribution to the whole system that we're fighting for, be it Medicare or any other thing, requires people to generate a bunch of money so that they can give a bunch of it to the government. So it's a weird proposition to be resentful at the people who are giving a tremendous amount of money to this system that you want to see more services of.

So when I see, like, abolish billionaires, it's like, well, how about abolish some things you don't like about billionaires? But if someone is—some human being figures out how to make a mousetrap, Apple— And it generates a trillion dollars and half of that goes to this system. That's why is that antithetical to what you want?

Well, that's a big issue.

But I'm saying when someone creates the iPhone and it sells several hundred million and then that puts a half trillion dollars into the fund that builds roads and educates kids.
