Paul McCartney catching strays out here... If anyone should be allowed to live a life of luxury, it's the surviving members of the fucking Beatles...
Jokes aside, I do see a difference between people who became wealthy through art, than through straight capitalism. It's still gross, it still shouldn't exist, it is still a form of capitalism and exploitation, etc. etc., but there are levels to this.
Any person could live a life of luxury with 50 million or 10 million. They don't need 1,000 million or more.
As stated in another part of this thread, why the fuck does one person need 6 yachts?
The problem not really being understood is excess wealth. Human brains have difficulty fully grasping large numbers.
It's like trying to understand the size of the universe.
Every one of the billionaires could live amazing lives with 95% less than what they have.
I was being a bit facetious, I agree with everything you're saying.
