      Because Taylor Swift is a billionaire who is politically relevant. She often has been on the right side of things (but not always). Even if she was solely a source for good, that doesn’t justify the obscene wealth she has or her lifestyle

      And the right doesn’t generally worship her the way other billionaires are worshipped because she’s woke or something? Whatever the reason, they’re more willing to criticize her

      She’s also far more susceptible to public pressure than other billionaires as an artist

      All together, she’s a good target to rally around.

      Does she deserve to be wealthy? Sure. She actually worked to get where she is, and has done a lot of good.

      But she’s a billionaire, and we need to discuss limiting all billionaires to reasonable amounts of extreme wealth.

      It doesn’t matter where the conversation starts, we can’t really afford to be picky
