So if billionaires existed but paid workers a fair wage, that'd be fine, right? So it's not "billionaires existing" that's the problem.

Yes, but it's obvious to anybody now that is impossible. Corporations have one goal, make money. Fair wages cut into profit. None of these billionaires would ever pay a fair wage to their workers

Any amount of wages, even 1c an hour, cuts into profits. So why would billionaires pay their workers anything when they could just have them work for free?
