This guy gets it.
I think "all billionaires are scum" is perhaps too harsh, but it's far closer to the truth than the views of society at large.
Too harsh? Can you name one that isn't?
I'm pretty sure that future billionaire me seems like a cool guy, I'm totally not biased.
Eat the rich, except if I become rich, then I'm exempt because I am a honorary proletariat
/s but seriously tho, if anyone becomes a billionaire, they'll soon get corrupted by the wealth
You don't become a billionaire without exploiting so many people and then hording those riches to yourself. You've already been corrupted by that point.
A horde would come after their hoard of riches
You could exploit other billionaires, but that seems like the one thing you can go to jail for.
