But we're told Warren Buffet is the good kind.

He's one of the best billionaires. He wants to be taxed more for the betterment of all. Bill Gates does a lot of good with his foundation.

#BUT.

That's like referring to the "best" serial killer, and I mean that comparison. Billionaires shouldn't even exist, much less be admired and have outsized fame and influence. Every single one is a policy failure and every single one was formed from exploited workers (who actually contribute to society). Billionaires are parasites...

Bill Gates Foundation does some good. His foundation is mostly a gigantic tax shelter though. For him, it's like an unlimited IRA. Society would be better if he simply had less money, less influence, and less control.

He's also one of the most highly associated with Epstein. His wife divorcing him after the Epstein records leaked.

And he founded Microsoft, a company that invented EEE.
