Too harsh? Can you name one that isn't?

I'm pretty sure that future billionaire me seems like a cool guy, I'm totally not biased.

Eat the rich, except if I become rich, then I'm exempt because I am a honorary proletariat

/s but seriously tho, if anyone becomes a billionaire, they'll soon get corrupted by the wealth

You don't become a billionaire without exploiting so many people and then hording those riches to yourself. You've already been corrupted by that point.

You could exploit other billionaires, but that seems like the one thing you can go to jail for.

I think for most people, they become an asshole on the way to becoming a billionaire. You don't make that kind of money without exploitation and plundering. The only exception I could think of would be if they inherited the money. And even so, if you inherit that kind of money and don't give out a good chunk of it, you're still scum imo.
