Billionaires
Like anyone on Earth is actually "worth" billions of dollars. For those
who believe that the rich earn their money, just look at the difference
between one of these people and a wage slave working two jobs for close
to nothing. Go ahead and tell me that just one of the super-rich is as
important as a million other people. They're not. I'm sure many of them
are brilliant and have made great contributions. But it's also true that
they were in the right place at the right time, they had certain
connections or money, they took advantage of others, they had help from
taxpayers (loans, infrastructure, education), or all of the above. They
did not do this alone, and for each of them there are hordes of others
who are just as smart and work just as hard, without the reward. So stop
putting the rich up on a pedestal and try thinking outside that box.
