CMV: No one earns a billion dollars.

Although it is possible to possess a billion dollars, the fact that you posses it means that you have exploited other humans in a way detrimental to the public good, continuing to posses it drives the velocity of that money to zero, causing real harm, and being part of any system so integral that it can generate a billion dollars means that you have subverted a necessary system as a tyrant, causing harm to your fellow humans. 

If it can’t be earned, and it’s directly harmful, by what right do we allow this enormity to continue.

People do earn a billion. I’ll provide you with an example I’ve used recently. 

J.K. Rowling 

According to Forbes, she became the first author billionaire. 

She exploited nobody. 

She was poor, she wrote a story that the public liked and wanted more of. She wrote 7 books, got film deals and merchandising rights and acquired her wealth that way. She didn’t exploit anyone. 

A mass consumer market who liked what she had to offer and were willing to pay money to read/watch or buy whatever else was on offer gave her that wealth. What she was offering was not a necessity. Nobody HAD to read her books. Nobody HAD to watch the films. Nobody HAD to buy the merchandise. 

Life would have carried on just fine without Harry Potter but the market was prepared to pay a lot of money for a part of her fantasy story.
