I don't think there was any suggestion to confiscate their wealth. It's more of a moral question. If it was just envy, why not go after millionaires too? I don't think that's the issue.
Many of these billionaires don't just have 1, but tens and some of them even hundreds. How many of them operate independently with no influence on the government or subsidies from them? I think you would be hard pressed to find a billionaire who hasn't engaged in underhanded and perhaps even egregious tactics in order to achieve that level of wealth.
I think this is a larger reflection of society that has become obsessed with materialism and profit at the expense of others. That is the underlying issue.
How hard do people have to fight for a pay rise in corporate environments? All while many corporations increase their profits YOY, but are primarily trying to serve the interests of their shareholders rather than employees and customers.
Maybe it's just me, but when my business makes more profit, we proactively raise how much we are paying anyone we hire (freelancers and contractors) because they are fundamental to our growth and it shows appreciation. It's something I fought with my business partner over for years, and he finally came round to seeing things from this perspective.
