I don’t get why reasonable claims like this get downvoted. Are billionaires downvoting them? Do so many other ambitious people expect to become billionaires at some point in their lives?

This comment is repeating a political slogan with no consideration of the content of the article.

Also the slogan is a Marxist alternative theory of wealth and power which conflicts with some basic premises of being interested in startups and is debunked in pg readings.

I downvoted it because I think that forcibly taking away people's wealth (however much or little they have) is immoral in the extreme. However, I did just now vouch for it because the post isn't breaking any rules even if I do think it's a bad take.

My grandchildren will likely need to be billionaires just to retire.
