edit: I am not saying billionaires are worse than anybody else, I am just saying their interests probably don’t have a lot of overlap with the avg voter.
Imagine waking up with billions of dollars. What would you do with it? If you say keep it and try o take more from the populous then you are an enemy of the populous. They have brain damage from greed. They are worse than everyone else.
I would spend all but 1 billion on just buying wetlands and the legal resources to make sure they never get touched. Doing good the laziest way possible.
With the remaining billion I will start my own space program.
They are objectively worse - it’s immoral for a billionaire to exist (meaning to amass that amount of money, not to physically exist). You can’t get to that point without knowingly/actively hurting others. They are worse people, period… and you don’t have to cover your bases and backpedal on this point. Starts to sound line the famous “temporarily embarrassed millionaires” quote.
I haven’t even lived for a billion seconds yet and I was born in 94! A billion is a truly obscene high quantity. I don’t think there’s a moral way to gain that much wealth, and if there is, it’s an exceptionally rare possibility.
I am 1,735,668,000 seconds old, and so I have seen some shit. Donald Trump is just an unseemly hiccup in an insignificant span of time. There were ghastly horrors before him and there will be ghastly horrors after him. These nuisances seem important because this is your now, you’ll realize how little they meant when this is your then. As in, it seemed so important then, while you look back at the Land of Then from the clear hilltops of After.

It’s ok, I’ll say it, billionaires are greedy fucks killing our society, individuals who should not exist in a functional society.
Billionaires are worse than everyone else. Greed on their scale is killing the planet and people.
No one becomes a billionaire through ethical means. You have to grind people down to make that kind of money.
To prove it, just how rich can someone get without making any unethical choices?

Oh don’t apologize! Let me show you something:
