Wealth isn't, but political influence seems to be. I'm all for the existence of billionaire, so long as they don't muddle up the lives of the little people. Unfortunately they've shown little restraint on that front.

That is mostly an American problem. The top 1% has much less influence in Europe. You should probably work at fixing your democracy first since it is the real issue here.

Brexit and the yellow-vest riots are proof that what you're saying is incredibly poorly thought out and probably comes from a nationalistic bias.

The title "président des très riches" wasn't born out of nowhere, was it?
