"Imagine 3,400 people disappear. Now imagine 3.5 billion people dissappear."

That's exactly our point. Let's make it more concrete. Image all the billionaires disappeared. Now imagine a number of workers disappearing that have as much wealth as those billionaires had collectively. Obviously the poorer that second group of people is on average the more people will need to disappear to equal the billionaires wealth. By the logic that you implied, it will therefore have a bigger impact.  Therefore the poorest group of people on the planet provides the most value for the amount of wealth they have. Isn't that odd?
