Has anyone ever stopped to ask what billionaires give to society? I mean what they actually contribute besides control, hate, disinformation, and illegal activities disguised as innovative tech? Society doesnt need billionaires, but billionaires need us to keep being disgustingly wealthy.
Taxes. They don't pay as much as they should, but you can't operate without paying taxes at all and more-money-than-you-should-get is still better than no money.
