this is like saying "since rich people have plantations full of slaves I'm not freeing my one house slave until they free all of theirs"
and billionaire use the same logic btw - "sure my super yacht creates massive emissions but my personal emissions are nothing compared to 7 billion people's emissions - so why should I reduce mine if the masses won't reduce theirs"
The slaves in your metaphor would be common people like you and me who will have to live with the restrictions the elites put on us.
