If a genie offered me the choice between eradicating all billionaires, and curing all disease, I know which I'd choose.

Curing all disease, because you're not an incomprehensibly evil moral monster, right? Or at least, you'd spend at least one hour, or perhaps ten minutes, looking up the wikipedia article on what a billionaire is. Right?

Curing all disease would likely result in the extinction of 99% of life on earth due to over population. So obviously the first option is better. Plus if the money is fairly distributed, the economy would begin thriving again
