3. I have actually heard rw'ers in my family say

Billionaires worked hard to earn that money so they should get to keep it. Then they like to point out someone like Michael Jackson - “he grew up in a poor family, they worked hard and became very wealthy, he should get to keep everything he earned.” (This was a few years ago, obviously). This rw worship and coddling of billionaires makes me sick.

Super billionaires like Musk don’t donate anything for charitable causes or for something that benefits everyone (like Andrew Carnegie did with libraries). I guess that’s their right but it shows us how selfish they are.
