I'm sorry but this is bullshit.
So a person who has 200 million to their name is not worth "stealing" from? Billionaires? Just billionaires?
Sorry but anyone who has more than about 10 times the median income has already passed a point at which I can buy that their life's work was so hard that their wealth is justified. (Personally I would set this factor even lower).
I mean, I haven't looked at all the data and whatnot but I imagine there are people who have millions of dollars that earned it honestly, 200 million is a lot but again I bet there are non horrible people that have that much
The reason people use 1 billion as an example is there is no good way to earn that much money, no one has ethically earned 1 billion dollars in any example I've ever seen at least, so it's a good baseline
