Or played banjo-tooie.

Edit: who downvoted Banjo-Tooie? The psychopaths

Religion and faith are fine to me. It’s when there’s a centralized authority within that religion that dictates how all other followers must live and act. Religion is fine. Authorities within religion are trash and largely responsible for radicalizations within their faiths(I.e. cults).

How so?

Did you even read my response?

You’re being intentionally obtuse. People like you have a hard time grasping the concept of a spectrum. You take something with rolling variables and demand an exact, fixed metric with which to measure, when there simply isn’t one. The number at which people themselves become unethical is incredibly individualistic and is determined by their actions, not an arbitrary number they reach along the way to a billion.

Who’s to say? I’d probably argue that a majority of athletes and musicians are ethically rich because their value is a direct result of their personal labor and talents. That goes out the window for a lot of athletes when they start signing brand deals with companies like Nike that use sweat shop labor. You’d really have to take it case by case, analyze what is making them their money and whether it’s dependent on exploitation at any point along the supply chain.

A large factor in the “no ethical billionaires” ideology is that purposely avoiding paying an equal share of taxes is inherently unethical, despite being legal and encouraged in our current system. Warren Buffett and the Waltons pay a lower actual tax rate than a McDonald’s drive through worker, despite their businesses depending on numerous public services like roads to transport their goods, GPS that runs their logistics, public schools that educate its workforce and so many others.

It’s fact buddy. The closest we have to ethical billionaires are musicians and athletes where their value is created directly be their own individual labor, but even then they sign brand deals with companies that operate on sweat shops and exploitative labor.

There is no such thing as an ethical billionaire.
