    Billionaires are bad not because they’re billionaires but because most of them become billionaires by exploiting the workers.

    I don’t think Swift’s money come from underpaid workers

        Do you have any reason to believe that they get significantly less salary than the median on the market? And that difference is enough to make billions?

      They are bad because they’re billionaires though.

      That kind of wealth concentration is disruptive of the entire economy and social structure.

      Imagine playing poker with $10 worth of chips against someone with $100,000; the game is rigged in their favor regardless of how they got the money.
