Oh Hells no
You're describing trickle down economy and how billionaires always claim that they HAVE to be so rich because it will trickle down to everyone, I promise!
Bullshit
Give everyone good wages, which is possible, and give everyone a job.
Have the billionaires pay up-to 100% income taxes and up to 50% owning taxes per year until their fortune is down to ~10 million, which is about the max that any human being should have. You cannot tell me that it's really fine for someone to have 100.000.000.000 dollars net worth while kids are under the poverty level in the US. With all the taxed money, you can immediately give everyone a universe income with which we can all live normal human lives.
Fuck these oligarchs, I sincerely they all die in an avalanche as that would actually make the world a better place. These people are leeches.
Cognitive dissonance?
BTW, it's "Universal Basic Income", the "net worth" is a fantasy, a "100% income tax" is as easy to dodge as any other, and wait for inflation to hit before talking about "the max that any human being should have".
This is where you've gone too far. Please think things through for a productive discussion.
