Having billionaires in and of itself isn't necessarily the problem as shown in the video in relation to billionaires in Sweden.Preaching to the choir for most here, but the BBC reel is only 5 minutes long...
Should we ban billionaires?
Should we allow structures that enable some people in our society to make and hold onto extreme amounts of money?www.bbc.com
The problem is that, in the US at least, they take that money to dramatically alter policy. I don't see that changing, in fact getting far, far worse. They aren't content with just buying off the politicians, they are brainwashing the public with some fairly sophisticated means. I don't believe that it's just US billionaires doing this, either. We've seen almost every western democracy targeted for that.
Normally, this would end in some kind of bloodbath, their blood, if they continue down that path, but that can take decades if not centuries and with climate change that may not even be in the cards. So basically, many millions will suffer and die for their greed and lust for power.
