You people are really blaming billionaires?

  • Large corporations paying low wages and poor working conditions is the fault of the large corporation!
  • Complex tax avoidance schemes and lobby for low tax rates on wealth, inheritance, and capital gains is more of a tax issue!
  • Governments cutting services for schools and social services cause of lack of tax revenue is more of a government issue!
  • Buying political influence through campaign spending, lobbying, and media ownership isn't illegal. Anybody can do it!
  • Media and tech platforms that shape narratives, spread misinformation, and deepen polarization isn't a billionaire issue. That's a society issue!
  • Buying things like private jets and space tourism while underfunded communities face climate disasters isn't a billionaire's fault. Those communities should really learn to balance their resources!

Granted, billionaires are the root cause of all those problems. But when you ignore that part, it's really someone else's fault!
