“No one should be a billionaire because it's damaging. There's a certain level of wealth that's damaging to a country. Billionaires have so much wealth that they have enormous political power, which is undemocratic. There should be a ceiling on wealth.

If you have so much money that you can buy an entire political party, that's a thing that shouldn't exist.”
