Nah man, billionaires shouldn't exist. It is literally impossible to amass that type of wealth without exploiting (stealing surplus value from) people working for you. Aside from that, it is more money than a person could ever spend and takes huge amounts of money out of the economy, slowing the velocity of money.
You should care, because it actively harms the economy to have that kind of wealth hoarding.
And I do vote, but that doesn't help in a broken system built by people like this to enable and encourage exploitation. Do you really think that the people in power actually wish to hold people like this accountable? Of course they fuckin don't, they're the same goddamn people.
I work in tax and i can tell you the tax systems are broken once you pass a certain level of wealth most of us will never achieve in our lifetimes. This is by design.
