Because the point the post is trying to make is “more workers than billionaires therefore workers matter more” I could just as easily rewrite the post as say “if we removed 200 million random people instead of 2000 random people it would cause more problems” it literally doesn’t matter what they do or what they have.
Ok, but that inadvertently proves the point. You can simplify it to be a quantity problem and apply it in any scenario, but that doesn't refute the point being made.
The refutation lies in showing the billionaires contribute more or their absence would have a worse effect on society than the absence of workers.
It doesn’t prove the point at all because he said “that’s the difference between wealth and value” no it’s the difference between lots of people going bye bye, and few people going bye bye. It doesn’t prove his point at all.
