From my perspective these ultra-rich just don't seem to think they have any responsibility to humanity. It's one thing to say they don't care about their home country, but they just don't care about humanity at all. If they do anything philanthropic it's because they're seeing direct benefits from it. They sit on their unfathomable stockpiles of wealth like a dragon. At best they do nothing, at worst they actively work to destabilize order.

The ultra-rich should not exist!!!
