> Flip it around and give the 0.01% poorest people the same treatment, society certainly doesn't need the poorest of the poor either. It makes about as much sense.
Again, that's the goal.
There was no vote to declare a line at 1 billion, because nobody cares about the exact number. The goal of measures like this is to reduce inequality.
so when was the vote to declare that the line in the sand? what about millionaires? Let me guess, there are enough millionaires now that it's too big of a group to make an enemy out of. You can't say society doesn't need millionaires because there's enough that maybe someone's friend or family is a millionaire and will think "..wait a minute, that doesn't seem right".
Flip it around and give the 0.01% poorest people the same treatment, society certainly doesn't need the poorest of the poor either. It makes about as much sense.
