Anyone whose net worth is in the billions is evil, because pretty much the only feasible way to gather that much wealth is to be a psychopath.

I could be generous and say they are not evil, but the system that allows them to become billionaires in the first place is evil.

But as soon as you say "Twitter made my daughter hate rich people, so to prove her wrong I bought it and ran it into the ground so people can't exchange ideas there anymore"...yeah, you're not making the case you think you are.

Wrong! You see, all billionaires worked really really hard to exploit others! It really is all about hard work!
