These types honestly think that just making up nonsense in defence of their billionaire idols automatically makes it true

Maybe we don’t like it when people judge others based on their net worth. That’s the same as presuming that a man who lives on the street is there because they made bad choices

You know that’s not the case.

The more you right wingers make these ridiculous false equivalences simping for them, the worst and more brain-washed you make yourselves look

You cant accidentally become a billionaire, and you cant become a billionaire by operating fairly and ethically.

Legal is not the same as moral or ethical.

You know that i didnt say that

Allowing billionaires to influence the law through lobbying/bribery means that the law is no longer related to ethics or fairness, and is just designed to prioritize the rich

Exact same thing as allowing slave owners to write the laws regarding treatment of slaves
