To put it into perspective, one billion is one-hundred thousand ten thousand times over. In other words, one billion dollars per year could provide ten-thousand families with an annual income well above that of the current national average.
I had a guy (political science student) explain that slave owners have responsibility too. And if they don't own slaves how are they supposed to earn money?
Brother was so lost in the sauce he actually circled back to the reality of "the ownership class is fundamentally useless and worthless to society unless EXPLICITLY given a group to exploit". Incredible.

Billionaires could provide for their family, as well as dozens or even hundreds of others.

Dozens, hundreds, thousands, or potentially even millions of other families… and yet, they don’t.

Of course they have to.
Let them have a regular, non-9-digit wage like the rest of us.

Assuming those families are not in on the racket, and they often are, they deserve better.
