    If the needs and desires of the many were satiated and society was arranged to prioritize each individuals well being/contentedness it wouldn’t matter if one individual had more.

      That’s a really big “if”, especially when you consider how billionaires actively use their influence to maintain an underclass by fighting against government policies that would help lower-class people become middle-class.

      Sorry but simply having our needs met is not enough. You are letting one class determine how everyone else works. People want self-determination and that should be extended to all people, not just billionaires.
