Horseshit. A few thousand billionaires doesn't constitute a "class" in a world of billions of people. That's not a matter of "class," it's a fucking oligarchy.
Wow you're pretty angry.
You should try to be happier, your hate is making you dumb
It's not that complicated
It's a rich Vs the poor trope.
It's trying to incite hate and disillusionment in society.
Billionaires create many things millions use. Just because they have a lot of money didn't make them intrinsically bad.
Billionaires didn't create them. Engineers and scientists did, and we don't even know their names in the news while billionaires take credit.
If you create something you can patent it.
The billionaires didn't automatically own it.

Yeah if you are to that contact, then that's the contract.
Don't work for them if they automatically own your work.
