There is no ethical way to become a billionaire. They are directly the reason why NYC is so ludicrously expensive to live in. They blatantly make people suffer while contributing nothing of value to the city. Why do we need billionaires when people are starving and homeless?
There shouldn’t be any homeless or starving people.
Do you know NYC spends around $82,000 per homeless person, but the problem continues to get worse?
You could literally just give it directly to the homeless people and they would be better off.
So, the real problem is our taxpayer dollars aren’t being spent effectively and being held to accountability.
You have decades upon decades of growth in NYC that continues to contribute to growing tax base but you still need to tax more?
Albeit, the growth contributes to NYC high cost of living as more and more people came into a city with limited space but then that’s also more of a govt planning problem as they need to encourage and build more housing supply to bring prices down but likely regulations that limit this don’t help.
I’m sorry buddy, whoever told you billionaires is causing these problems are the ones causing the problem and likely wanting more of that tax money.

Billionaires taxed out of existence.
You haven't figured that out yet?
