I would view each billionaire as being good at one thing.
Nobody needs to be as good as basketball as Lebron James. Nobody needs to be as good at Baseball as Babe Ruth. The existence of these outliers doesn't diminish anyone else. They merely show what is possible. It's only because we are so used to it that we even suggest redistribution for the money of billionaires. Nobody is suggesting we redistribute the point achievements of the top 10% athletes to the bottom 20%. Nobody suggests redistributing the grades of the top of the class to those failing at the bottom of the class. After all nobody needs 100% on an exam, if you lower their grade to 80% and redistribute those grade points suddenly more people are graduating.
Why is redistributing money right, but redistributing credit for grades games and culture wrong?
- jdiff 3y agoThere is no such thing as a good billionaire. Skill can only take you so far, and it's not to the billionaire level. This is money, not skill, not grades. The billionaires aren't skilled, they're exploiting a broken system.
