    Oh I’m not arguing against the absurdity of someone having a networth in the billions, I’m just trying to add clarity that it’s the financial industry and tax laws that allow it to happen.

    As opposed to just grunting “BILLIONAIRES BAAAAAAAAD!!!

      You are not adding clarity.

      Your understanding is misguided.

      Terse messages are used not because the broader messages lack substantive justification, but rather because repetition helps them gain enough attention that more of society will feel motivated to investigate and to reflect.
