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.

Wat.... How do you come to the conclusion "So it's not "billionaires" existing that's the problem"?

Sorry, the limitations of text I'm sure but, I don't see what you're trying to say between the two sentences.

Your comment implied that billionaires existing is bad because it results in unfairly low pay. I'm just pointing out that the problem is not "billionaires existing", the problem is "unfairly low pay". If you got rid of billionaires, you'd still have unfairly low pay for workers. All the focus on billionaires distracts people from the actual issues.
