I think i disagree. 'Bilionaires' makes it seem seem like a nebulous group of individuals, like 'oh just happens to have a ton of money, you can't hold that against them without evaluating their actions as an individual' The problem is that they *are* a class, or rather that the class exists *as a class* and that they are use their power, act as and are catered to, as a class. If there were 100 individuals around the word who just happened to have assets valuing 1,000,000,000$ or more, even if they owned shitty companies companies and were all assholes, that would be one thing. Assuming they not associate with each other, conspire together to warp society and governments to their shared wills etc, it would be a far different world. If they were seen as just rare individuals, governments would not bend to their whims; one billionaire threatens to offshore his buisness unless he gets favorable laws, to ignore taxes etc, the country threatens to nationalism his buisness, or just locks his ass up. I one guy is found to be bribing one or countless politicians, thats a treasonous scandal. When a couple dozen are making these threats in lockstep, they are holding the country's economy hostage. And when between them they are bribing all the politicians, that becomes the staus quo. its when they act as a class that its a real problem.
