And that's evident in my statements.
I addressed a particular issue, but that issue is arguably the top level shell under which the rest of the issues are nested, which is the system that not only allows, but facilitates and encourages poverty wages for frontline workers while creating staggering levels of wealth for those at the time- and I addressed several individual elements of how and why those were negative.
My post was anything but "narrow".
I then reiterated the fact that that particular post was only dealing with Amazon, before clearly stating that there is much more to address on the subject.

Who is expressing that view in here, as you just expressed, for that to be challenged?

You're contesting a problem that hasn't thus far been raised in the context of this discussion.
You're also contesting a problem that is symptomatic of the disease, but not the disease itself.
That those billionaires exist at all is demonstrably a far greater and more pertinent problem than the billionaires themselves. This is evident in the fact that, if we change the system in a way that prevents billionaires from existing at all, and instead works to distribute that wealth to workers as an equitable wage instead of the whims- be it tax shelter, from the heart, or otherwise- of a small handful of those who get to control it- those billionaires may still be able to do vile things, but not to the tune of a billion dollars while thousands beneath them have to eek out a meager existence.
The demonstrably narrow view here, is to go after the lowest branch of fruit available: people who think rich people are greedy and evil.
The thing your contesting is a joke.
