What controversial stance did Bill Burr take regarding wealth and violence?

Bill Burr initially suggested that Luigi Mangione, who shot Brian Thompson (CEO of United Healthcare), essentially "had it coming" because Thompson ran a health insurance company. Burr implied that violence against the executive was somewhat justified based on his corporate position. More recently, Burr has expanded this controversial perspective to include all billionaires, suggesting that extreme wealth itself might warrant violent consequences. Ben Shapiro criticizes this stance as dangerous, arguing it reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of economics and morality, while potentially promoting regressive economic views.
