I think the biggest problem with these kind of calculations is that you can’t just take money from someone, regardless of your opinion of them or how they obtained so much wealth.
You can, actually! The easiest way is by force, sometimes lethal.
After all, that would mean that the government/whoever’s in power could just as quickly take your money too. Assuming you want an equal society.
Once I have over a billion dollars, then they could and I would understand. They already take poor peoples’ money all the time, and sometimes kill them, directly or indirectly.
Yeah, we’re not going to spread this liberal reddit shit in this community under my watch. Take ten days and come back when you’re ready to not empathize with billionaires and their “investments.” This is not a space to discuss liberal economics.
Liberals espouse various and often mutually warring views depending on their understanding of these principles but generally support private property, market economies,
Economic liberalism is a political and economic ideology that supports a market economy based on individualism and private property in the means of production.

Especially if it leaves me a billionaire

Isn’t the original post here a Reddit screenshot?
Last I checked, r/LateStageCapitalism wasn’t a liberal/pro-capitalist subreddit.
Yeah, but they’re also dumb and factually wrong on a number of issues and don’t use good logic. Socialism is fine, they just get basic stuff wrong.
If you think that’s bad, you should see the anarchist subreddits.

That’s a very US centric view and not even correct there.
