It is impossible to “earn” billions, or even many millions. You can earn what is necessary to live decently, eat well, be comfortable, but anything in excess of that is theft.
Genuinely feel bad for the guy, or any billionaire. People automatically dislike you…and for what? Oh because you’ve been robbing the hard working men and women of this country for decades, use shady and often illegal business practices to destroy any competition, put mom and pop shops out of business, and do everything possible to avoid taxes??? People are so touchy. You go a few decades grossly mistreating and underpaying people and suddenly YOU’RE the bad guy. This world…..

Don’t label people billionaire. It’s labelist.

>Former Starbucks boss Howard Schultz has bristled during congressional testimony at being labelled a billionaire.
>He said he has earned every dollar as he clashed with left-wing Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.
Like most billionaires, he defines worker exploitation as “earning”.

This is so unfair I mean he “earned his money. And he’s *shared* it constantly with people of Starbucks.”
You mean paid them wages? 🙃

From the comments: running a company – not work. Being a lifetime politician – hard work.

If it’s such a burden, give it all away. You’re welcome.

Poor guy. People don’t know the hardships of billionaires. How dare you call him a billionaire.

This is right out of the TV show Silicon Valley, next he’ll start comparing himself to German Jews living under the Nazis.

We could call them oligarchs or robber barons or slum lords, instead
