This is what the billionaire apologists are saying, now:
“While amassing their fortunes, billionaires make the rest of us richer, not poorer.” -Michael Strain, 2025
“Everyone hates a rich guy until they need one to survive.” -Christian Schneider, 2025
This is what they were saying 6 centuries ago:
“It seems to be preferable to have many avaricious men whom we can depend upon in times of difficulty, like a stronghold or a citadel.” -Poggio Bracciolini, ~1420s
