@rbreich where did their billions come from? They came from a nice, stable well behaved society where lots of non-billionaires do unpaid work. Where lots of other non-billionaires do work like nursing, teaching, policing and other kinds of work. The low paid and non paid people keep the society nice, stable and well behaved. Bringing up children and healing, teaching and protecting them, so they can work and be productive adults. The billionaires get to skim off the top because many many many other people are keeping things running well. No one is self made.
