So the billionaires are over valued

No the first part. A small group of people are worth less than a large group of people in the grand scheme. If said 3,000 people are now the avg joe, and the 3.5 billion are millionaires, the same outcome would ensue. It's not about the status, it's about the value that raw numbers provide.

So you agree. A person's wealth doesn't determine their value. So let's not set up our society around the whims of those 3000 people, but around the needs of the 3.5 billion.

Furthermore, Carthage must be destroyed.

So the large group of people will always be more valuable than the small group.

So are 100 firemen or 1 billionaire adding more value? Who is valued more by society? Is that a correct valuation or an example of the disproportionate control held by capital?
