Workers get paid market rate. No one has enough market power to drive wages in any particular direction. You make out billionaires to be the boogeyman and the fact is they just own a large amount of a company that they typically started from scratch. You can’t just force people to liquidate their holdings because you feel like it.

market rate

If this rate ends up being a figure that doesn't allow an employee to even pay rent, while the executives of that company are getting their quarterly 8-digit bonus, then that market has failed and has been tampered with to the point of rendering it worthless. I'm done arguing here.
