What’s wrong with being anti-billionaire?

If a dragon were hoarding all the gold in your village and leaving the villagers to get fucked, would you be pro-dragon?

(Yeah it’s a Terry Pratchett novel.)

    But that's the point, They're not hoarding ALL the gold, your point is based in hyperbolie and is ridiculous.

    We have a lot in this day and age.

    Food, shelter, international travel, computers, cars, global internet etc etc

    And making the argument that we have nothing and they have everything is absurd.

    I was homeless for 8 years, I went hungry so often that my sense of hunger all but disappeared, the furthest I've been from where I was born was 300 miles (and that was once), I've never traveled internationally and I probably never will due to financial reasons.

    To each according to need, from each according to means.

    They're hoarding the fruits of the labor of the working class, the top 1% have more wealth than the rest of humanity.
