Maybe billionaires should get a real job that contributes.

Tbf, I party agree with you. The focus on CEOs is a quite deliberate distraction from the real problem thats crafted to feed nicely into the "white collar workers unduly favour (insert minority group)" trope.

To me, at least CEOs work for at least some of their money, even if we all disagree on the exact percentage.

The shareholders (capital, the actual problem) are more than happy for people to direct thier anger at CEOs. In fact, its part of the CEOs job. All the shitty things the CEO brings in is because the shareholders are demanding more money.

Keep being angry at the green wizard, just don't think about whats behind the curtain.
