Right, but OP said “citizens”. Billionaires are citizens too. I messed up saying military because I read it a “civilians” at first. I agree it’s corporate greed, but the Bank of Canada can’t do anything about that.

In the most technical sense of the term, yes, billionaires several times over are citizens. But I’d argue that a citizen in the truest sense of the word contributes meaningfully to a community. By hoarding their billions and perpetuating (even exacerbating) exploitation in the pursuit of more billions negates them being true citizens. They reap from society and the environment more than they contribute.
