Billionaires are not root cause of all worlds woes

Yes they are. They are literally bribing the politicians into making life harder for everyone else. Then, when someone tries to ease the suffering by getting get a reasonable and minor socialism (e.g., universal health-insurance), they drop bankers' trucks against it while demonizing a scape goat of a minority that does no harm (see transgender people). They are literally repeating pre-revolutionary France. That is why people cheer when their planes crash.

    Billionaires are like a cancer, they seek to grow grow grow without foresight on how that would affect their own environment in which they thrive. But what caused said cancer in the first place? And once again, the system allowed for them to accumulate enough wealth and power, and even still the system allows them to use that wealth and power for their own gain. Everything functions as designed in a capitalistic laissez faire system, that is until a critical point when it won't.

    The system they designed.

    Per their design.

    "It's a cancer, so we should find a way to deal with the genetic cause of the cancer in our patient rather than cutting it out?"

    Thank fucking Christ you're not an oncologist, because your own metaphor shows why you have to get rid of the billionaires immediately. First, cut it out if you can. Second, if it starts coming back, treat it with poison and hope the body doesn't die. Third, find a way to treat the genetic defect or environmental factor which caused it in the first place. You have to do all of those, but the first one is objectively more pressing.
