    I don’t know about that, there isn’t much of a point to it. I understand the idea of keeping the poors poor so they need to work. I get the idea of greed blinding them to the concept that higher wages = more money to buy their products, but I never understand the argument of evil for the sake of evil.

    Those people exist, but not in any number that should have a visible affect on our society. I think it’s more about blind greed and power hungry people.

      There are only ≈2000 billionaires. That’s a small enough percentage of the population. Maybe not all of them are straight up evil, but enough are that they have set up the system to perpetuate needless suffering. We also have studies that prove that one harmful billionaire will cause more damage than 10 beneficent billionaires can clean up.
