It might effectively trigger people like you. Maybe that’s a reflection of your own inability to create wealth for yourself.

I had to stop when you started in with the ad hom like you did against the other guy.

My parting tip to you - if you assume that the only way people could disagree with you is if they are failures in life, that's a fairly shallow and myopic view.

Challenge yourself to imagine what you could actually do to deserve to be one of those 8 people in the meme. (Try to think more specifically than 'work really hard.') You are one of 8 people who collectively hold more wealth than the next 3.6 Billion combined. Many of those 3.6 billion are suffering. What exactly could you have done that makes that a deserving position to be in? And has anyone alive done that thing?

Good day to you.

Everybody is suffering. Not only the 3.6 billions.

In your world, it seems like being a billionaire is the ultimate end of suffering. Eventually, everyone dies. Even billionaires.

I think they simply have problems that we can't relate to. I don't know what it's like to be a billionaire.

Should they share that wealth? I don't know. Maybe? Maybe not?

Now, I don't think I'm defending them. But as a business owner, a part of me values wealth creation and capitalism.
