people become billionaires through wage theft.

Quite the assumption assertion. Can I also just assume assert bad things you did with no evidence? PS: I mean that he specifically became billionaires through wage theft. I am sure many others did.

Plus, the starving are unemployed because the unemployment rate is artificially controlled economically in order to pressure the working class into accepting bad work conditions.

Which, even if it was true, he would be unable to change, just as the two of us are.

That’s established economic science. Billionaires cannot possibly create added value to account for their wealth, just as you or I cannot become billionaires at the sweat of our brow. These people end up billionaires for being at the giving end of an oppressive labor system, and often, of untaxed inheritance.

this is not established economics. It’s labor theory of value derived by Marx that was never fully accepted, and was thoroughly debunked like 80 years ago at the latest.

Maybe look up definition of wage theft first. The one most people use.

In addition:

  1. Value and create in this context is mostly subjective.
  2. Ever since internet and software became a thing, they can. It is absolutely possible for one person to create sw worth billions.

Name one thing that one person created that became worth billions. Something that is rightly credited to a single person.

Quite the assumption.

Go learn what the term “assumption” means.
