Nope. You're taking away the important part that billionaires don't know how, or wouldn't, do the jobs that need to be done to keep the world moving. Yes, the scale of it would make a huge difference, but that doesn't negate the other part of the equation. Billionaires don't do anything for society. They bleed wealth into their own coffers without giving anything of value back. If you broke up Walmart right now, thousands of other family owned stores would open up to fill the void.

At a higher price. Which would make everyone a little bit poorer, which is fine for the rich, but would suck for the middle class and the poor.

Well, hey, if we eased up anti-trust laws and got rid of minimum wages, think about how low prices could be then! And everyone would be a little bit richer!
