To be clear. I don't support the existence of billionaires, but I might be more forgiving if the contributed to society in big ways. Instead their only interest seems to be getting richer.

I wouldn't trust one person to unilaterally decide which ways was best for them to contribute their stolen money back to society.

Maybe not, but that is democracy. We all choose one person to trust to make decisions for us.

Also unfairness and theft are not the same thing.

Seriously, it took you 2 weeks to come up with that burn? I mean it really made me reflect on my life, just like your first punishing reply so you can feel good that you've changed the world for the better...but I'll be going on with my life and forgetting you exist now.
