I literally called them greedy in my argument, not virtuous. I don't believe they are all virtuous, some might be. Some are seeking their passions. All are greedy in some capacity.

> If all billionaires retired tomorrow I believe the country would keep working the same way and the economy would keep growing.

I don't understand, we replace them with another person? Or would a government entity take over their assets they generated.

What I am saying is that billionaires get rewarded disproportionately more than their actual contribution. They also get listened to way more than they deserve.
