Dude is missing the fucking point anyway. So what if there actually is a generous philanthropist billionaire? Does that prove that the system is working, because it enables private citizens to accumulate enough power to change the world any way they see fit? Because then we have a system where we are at the mercy as a society of the personal idiosyncrasies of the ultra wealthy, instead of elected officials.
If money is supposed to be a metric of success, then morality is nothing but the accumulation of money, and he who gets the most gets to tell everyone else how the world is to be run.
Societies cannot successfully and equitably and fairly be run by private individuals with extreme wealth. It is, in fact, the polar opposite of what we have tried to achieve with democratic societies. That’s the whole point of paying taxes, of having laws and regulations that diminish the influence of money, because let run wild, we get countries and populations run by modern warlords and chieftains bent on getting ever more for themselves and less for everyone else.
Capitalism is a fucking CANCER on humanity.
