The problem is not as much the billionaires playing Left/Right games with their money (they are human beings with self-interest) is that we allow them to be created in the first place. There is nothing wrong with capitalism and making money, but there is everything wrong with being able to amass and hoard the vast amount of money it takes to make a billionaire. Rather than tear down capitalism, and more importantly, allowing others to tear it down completely because of this gross inequity, why don't we just fix it? Because it's like the lottery, everyone believes they will one day win, too.
