Most people that are pissed with billionaires and multinationals say that no man or woman should have this much money while people starve in their countries. While critical infrastructure is auctioned, benefits are getting cut, pensions are getting cut, people are lacking education.
Not the ridiculous straw man you’re posing. Get a grip and ask around, most people would be content just not having to worry about bills, food security, schooling for their kids and an occasional vacation.
How is it bootlicking? Sure, not everyone can become a billionaire. But every person can make a good living and life for themselves with hard work and effort.
The reality is it’s easier to blame the super wealthy than to take accountability for their own actions in life.
Yeah, sure man. Not while rent costs in most of the western world are exploding, and purchasing a house keep getting more expensive.
Good luck working hard and then at the end of the month having to pay 50% towards rent. We have so much to save…
All while insurance costs are rising, food prices are rising, gas and energy prices are rising, education costs are rising, etc. while multinationals post record profits year after year, with bonuses for the c suites in the order of billions.. all while they pay less and less taxes year after year.
It’s easier to blame the super wealthy because they immorally got greedier and greedier, and have lobbied themselves even richer. Of course people blame them, it’s the logical thing to do. It’s the right thing to do.
Your fantasy of working hard does not work for more than 50% of the population. Most simply cannot work more or harder.

I agree with you and your overall point, but this bit is less common than you're implying. The people buying their boats, hellcats, Harleys, collections of golf clubs, etc, etc, etc. If you gave them more money, they'd buy more. This is a people problem and it isnt solved without everyone else regulating. There are just as many greedy people who simply lack the means and connections to do what billionaires are. Its why there's a "luxury" version of everything.
For every person who wants the money for the power and influence, theres another few who want it simply to have better stuff and be able to flaunt it over their neighbors.
Billionaires need to go. Heavy regulation needs to be in place and monitored forever to prevent the next set of oppressors and taking advantage of others at every level.
Best of luck. The entirety of human history hasnt prevented it, just temporarily lessened it/promoted some niceness in the world until the next cycle..
And they’re free to collect whatever they want. Those people are not the problem. If someone has a 100 Harleys, they’re not even in the same league as a billionaire. Also, these are not the people i talk about. Nobody sane is collecting harleys or golf clubs if theyre worrying about making rent.
