on self-made billionaires starting with key help from their parents

It doesn't even have to start that close to home, with nepotistic deals. The socialized systems which support buliding roads, policing a safe city, emergency response management like fire departments, LET ALONE public education (if not theirs, then their employees) are all part of a social contract. Bezos having workers who are not able to take piss breaks, or are on food stamps… all of this. It breaks the agreements under which we all operate as civil society.

As a society, we hate cheaters, we hate shirks.
