Not really but this one in particular is the Michael Jordan of drunk driving and I believe got away with manslaughter.

Yes, really. There are no ethically sound reasons for a person to have all this money when there is so much inequality. Moreover, there is no ethical ways to accumulate all this money. If you are billionaire either you or your daddy had to do a lot of explicitly unethical shit, and in order to retain it, you have to do unethical shit, actively, right now.

Capitalism, no matter how benign, and well intended, is literally exploiting labor from those who are lesss fortunate. And thanks to that malignant leprechaun Milton Friedman, every MBA since thinks that they're legally bound to maximize dividends for investors instead of compensating the people who do the actual production. It's obscene, sociopathic, and literally evil. But if Jeebus didn't want them to rich, they wouldn't be, right?
