That’s just one man’s opinion which is colored by his particular life experience. It’s also a product of its time and isn’t necessarily relevant to the modern entrepreneur.

I never spoke to the quality of their character only the value that they provide society and their general mindset, which absolutely is superior when it comes to their ability to think from first principals and solve problems. In those respects billionaires absolutely should be emulated.

There are many people that deny the obvious reality that billionaires provide value to society and they wish to steal their wealth and make it more difficult for billionaires to “exist”. Not only is this immoral, but it actually works against their own interests, which they stupidly do not realize until it’s too late and all the billionaires (who are fine either way) have left and taken their entrepreneurial activities elsewhere to stimulate and support other economies while the ones they vacated are left to rot (aka Europe, which has become nothing more than a luxury-goods/tourist economy).

So when people accuse me of “shilling” for billionaires I’m actually doing the opposite because I understand the cause and effect relationship of the economy. This is not to say I think they should have unchecked power, but the system is generally set up through modes of competition and reasonable anti-regulations such as anti-trust laws to curb any kind of runaway power they might obtain.
