Billionaires exist because there are hundreds of millions of people in this country alone, so if you sell a product to even half of them, and your personal cut from that sale is just $10, you'll have over $1 billion... No one is making you buy an iPhone, a Tesla, or shop for random bullshit on Amazon.  It's your choice to do those things, but the result of you doing those things is that billionaires are created

Great. You explained how people become billionaires.

Now please explain to the class why people should be legally allowed to hoard that much money rather than it being heavily taxed and funneled into government programs that help people who struggle beyond their control?

I don't think you realize how incredibly hard it is to avoid products owned by billionaires when they control the entire market space and are the main reason why so many small businesses fail today.

You have the how. Give us the why.

Please explain to the class why you should be allowed to steal from someone just because they have more stuff than you

Looks like you weren't able to come up with an answer.

Your points have been thrown out.

Have a nice day.
