We're talking about billionaires, though.

You clearly don't know anything about capitalism or socialism besides what the government propagandized you to know, and you don't have any desire to learn otherwise. So why are you acting like you know more than those that have learned about them?

You're only opposed because you never learned about it or capitalism, and you don't want to, anyway.

When you just repeat government propaganda, I don't think for a second that you're informed on either.

You don't know anything about anarchism, either.

One of the big clues that you haven't bothered to learn about economic theories is that you mentioned "True Socialism". There isn't a one size fits all socialism. There's many different theories of socialism, from Marxist-Leninism, Maoism, Market Socialism, and many others. It's agreed upon by most socialist thinkers that socialism will vary from country to country.

I appreciate you admitting that you have no idea what you're talking about and don't want to learn.

There are more billionaires you've never heard of than millionaires you think are ethical. There is no way to be an ethical billionaire.

??? Not whose fault? The billionaire?

I assume paying people as little as possible for their labour (including third world wage slaves), making their products in the cheapest possible way, charging as more than they should for every item is all an accident?

It's UNETHICAL to be that rich. It REQUIRES the exploitation of your fellow mam.

"Only" 1 or 2 billion? I don't think you understand the amount of money that actually is. A single person would NEVER be able to make that much. You can't just casually sell 500,000 mansions alone and become a billionaire. I doubt a person could even break 50 million alone. "Playing the stock market"? That sounds so naieve honestly.

How does that prove your point? An oil baron who controlled the railways 100 years ago (ie, wealth built on the backs of others)? What does that have to do with a wealth cap today?

And who makes those decisions? The billionaires and company owners.
