Lebron's private army

Lebron I read two things in the news this week and wanted to share my thoughts with you

First I see there is a national movement to tax billionaires incomes and net wroth up to 90% . No comment here on the fairness of such a policy. Just an idea for a deduction or two in case such becomes the law of the land.

If billionaires are taxed exorbitantly how about you moving back to Akron and establishing for yourself a private army like the wealthy often do in Pakistan or Afghanistan. Check with your CPA but I think it could be tax deductible. Also it could be good for Akron too if like the Roman
emperor Hadrian who rather than let his soldiers be idle and gamble when there were no actual wars or just off duty made his soldiers repair and build roads and long walls in Britain or complete public works in other sundry places. It would be nice if someone could get the extensive Akron street repairs  moving along.

Secondly I was so sorry to hear that the California Governor won't be purposing a speed train from Los Angeles to San Francisco California. I guess the auto lobbyists shouted his idea down. That's too bad because available trains for public transport are a good way to mollify the war between rich and poor in America. Concerning your own investments invest in self driving cars rather than trains at least in America during your lifetime.
