Yeah if you made thousands of dollars per day, and worked every day for hundreds of years, you still wouldn't be a billionaire.

The same right wingers who defend billionaires would be the same people who defend kings, queens, the aristocracy and nobility and feudalism if they existed back then. I guess rich D tastes super yummy. I wonder if it's evolution related, like how certain species have "worker" units who work themselves to death for their leader/queen. Is it a still primitive part of the brain that causes rich worship?

For these type of people, they don't care how much abuse they get from the people above them so long as there are still people below them.

You're being intellectually dishonest

The 300 richest men in America have more money than the next 300 million combined

They control laws, rarely pay taxes, often involved in shady fucked up dealings and have a tenancy to be literal sociopaths

If you can't see why as a society that is cause for concern then I dont know what to tell you.

No one is bitter that Taylor Swift makes millions off shitty music, they are bitter that people make billions of Saudi blood money while restricting rights and molesting children

Oh yeah. LBJ said it best:

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

Hes pointing out that theres always someone that has more. Why are your excesses and how you obtained them valid to someone that has less than you but youre bitching about someone that has more than you. The answer; nothing.

But you're trolling so I just wasted 60 seconds of my day typing this response.

Do you mean if you just spend it all or just stick the money under your mattress? You could easily become a billionaire in much less than hundreds of years if you are making thousands per day.

That's not an answer. When you buy pc/console/video game, you could have fed a starving person. You put your own petty wants in front of their basic human needs. You acted selfishly. It doesn't make you a bad person. That's just how people are. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for taxing the shit out of billionaires, but your excess is not fundamentally different than theirs.

The concept isn't fundamentally different. We all put our own petty wants before the needs of others. This is why we need governments to regulate what we do, take some of what we have, so others can benefit, significantly more in the case of billionaires, of course.

These two.

Indeed, the phenomenon of people bending over for richies is a perplexing one. How much butt can you munch before it gets tiresome and diseasey, really? I think it has more to do with the way we're brought up, though. "Don't cause trouble" and "don't talk back to me" just becomes ingrained into our psyche if we submit too much and live in reasonable comfort.
