Here’s where I might lose my more independent followers. I don’t believe billionaires should exist. Period. To specify, I don’t think they can exist in a fair system. Inherently wealth makes humans more greedy & out of touch. But a BILLION is a lot of money. More than you need..

to relate to the working people. You then become focused on creating more profits, becoming a conglomerate & essentially an all too powerful corporation. You acquire such power that you influence government, politicians, the environment, and entire industries.

The reality is no one person should become so powerful they can buy people or become an entity of a controlling corporation that knows no bounds. That’s what capitalism by itself allows. That’s why I don’t believe in it. It pushes greed & materialistic thought over community.

The rich got rich off of other people's labor.

Not to mention the fact that most billionaires became billionaires through privilege of one sort or another: inheritance/loans, familial connections, class status, etc.https://archives.cjr.org/the_audit/made_from_scratch.php …

Bless this mini-thread. So much truth in it. Billionaires are a sign that capitalism has gone very wrong. In any other country they'd be called what they are - oligarchs!

The sentiment behind this is fine, but it isn't reality. Someone investing in the stock market could feasibly become a billionaire. They haven't exploited anyone to do that, and you would pass judgement on them and call them greedy without even knowing who they are.

Okay sure Fiorella, but how did you come to settle on a billion? Do these same things not apply to someone worth 750 million? Just wondering.
