        Yes. Billionaires are, in fact, inherently bad. There is no reason for billionaires to exist. As wealth increases, taxes should increase - not to banktupt them, but to limit the massive amounts of wealth any one person can control.

        They make their wealth on the backs of the public good - on the backs of the rest of us. Corporations steal our wages, and I don’t mean just actively, but by paying us less than we should be paid. Wealth inequality is unconsciable. Especially when people are dying because our social safety nets have been plundered for decades.-

        Billionaires benefit from government and society - that’s how they became billionaires. They should pay back their fair share in the form of taxes, and taxes should fund things that benefit the people and society.

        So yes. Billionaires bad. Inherently so.

        Wow what an original thought. Its always important to lump everyone into a stereotype, that is the best way to talk about people, right?

        But in general I agree, there should be a limit to how much wealth people can accumulate. It just shouldn’t be possible. But who let that happen? People.

        So in the end: people are bad.

          You make that sound like billionaires aren’t fighting tooth and nail to keep their fortunes. Gabe could pay his employees more, he could donate his money, he could do a myriad of different things with it, but no he chooses to keep it and buy yachts. Does that make him evil? I’d sure as hell argue that it does.
