I wish we could cure the desire to become billionaires.

It is that which is the root cause of the problem.

EDIT: A “billionaire” is by todays standards someone who should be allowed to be godlike above everyone else, financially.

I really struggle to understand WHY we need this.

PS: I don’t advocate “flat wealth sharing” in any form. Hard and smart work should yield higher rewards than easy and dumb. But allowing the few to become astronomically rich at the cost of many living paycheck to paycheck failing to make ends meet, that is just wrong on every level.
