Should Billionaires Exist?

[Eskilon]

In a hypotetical scenario where you could decide if they are allowed to exist or not.

Yes? No? And why? I'm specially curious in unbiased and mature views though.

Yes, but I support disproportionate taxes on the wealthy.

I support them being possible because some could, and have been relatively good. Many do better than what good would come from a contemporary democratic nation, Bill Gates for example, Yvonne Chouniard, George Soros, Jeff Bezos, the list goes on.

No they inflict more suffering than they solve.

Their drive for profit squeezes everyone: Financially, in their wellbeing, in their sanity and mental state.
Their biases unbalance otherwise collectively or governmentally run institutions or platforms. Often greatly lacking the knowledge or skill set to effectively run such positions.
Their biases encourage violence against those they disagree with or threaten their fortunes; they encourage mental illness and suffering in those minds they warp or effect for their own gain.

On balance.
They may solve a problem and improve an area of life.
