By all means, show me some billionaires that never took advantage of anyone to get their billions and actually earned it. I'm down to change my view.

You can't prove a negative, screwball. It's literally impossible to prove "never took advantage of anyone" about anyone, billionaire or not.

Not that you aren't almost certainly using an overbroad definition of 'take advantage', on top of it.

I'm down to change my view.

No, you aren't. People who are don't play these kinds of semantic games.

My man I don't think you belong the the MARXIST LENNIST instance if you're this aggro at someone saying something as generic as "Billionaires exploited people to get their billions"

My man I don't think I give a shit where you think I belong.

If you were following burden of proof, you could stake your claim on particular billionaires who you say never exploited anyone, and it would then be on the other fellow to prove they did exploit people. Without example billionaires, however, your claim is nebulous and no one has any particular reason to believe in it.
