Im saying that your idea of the line and someone else's are much different
I just think that "If we're going to have billionaires pay a bunch more money, then everyone should have to give all their money to third world countries" is a dumb stance.

That said, I'm against people who are rich by association, ie money given to them by being a family member or business partner without working for it, or guys who sell a crappy product that looks amazing but uses inferior parts, ie Beats by Dre(Apparently Apple now).
This is inherent to the existence of billionaires though. Most of them have earned enough money that they aren't able to reasonably spend it within their lifetime, which inherently means that it's going to family members, etc. who didn't "earn it".
No, its not a dumb stance. Perhaps you jist are not quick enough to get it, but most wealth is relative. A person making 200000 a year is poor compared to Jeff Bazos. Likewise, you are rich compared to someone living in true poverty. What have you done to earn you position other than be born lucky? And why should you be allowed to keep resources in excess of what is required to survive and billionaires be forced to give away all they have?
no one said anything about billionaires giving away all they have, or anyone having only what they need to survive except for you ---
