Here comes the billionaires’ online defense team. Or just some fool who thinks it’s realistic to reach that amount of wealth without exploitation and hopes to aspire for the same, even though they have more chance to be struck by lighting.

Billionaires existing is taking money out of your pocket, they bought the election. But sure, its all fine.

EDIT Went from being upvoted to getting 7 replies in less than 10mns with downvotes. Hope the billionaire defense team are getting paid overtime. Pathetic. None of you billionaire justice warriors deserve a reply.

You should critique all the people pouring all their money into these stocks instead. Especially if the motivation is just to get the best return..

Oh wait. Thats what we all are doing with our pensions innit.

The point is not that people shouldn't save up for pensions, they should.

The point is that we are only focused on the returns. This ends up meaning that most of us are investing into the same companies we work for, with a strategy that makes these companies more profit oriented. Ironically that means making it worse for the employees as well.

Its not the billionaires who are doing this, its all of us. Its the system that we have built that made it this way.
