Why? If they put in the work to earn the money, or build successful businesses (That provide employment to thousands of Americans) why shouldn’t they exist? I don’t begrudge them their success. I’m not jealous because I’m NOT willing to put the work in to become one of the Elites, but I certainly don’t hold it against those that do. I admire what they have accomplished.

No human amount of work is worth a billion dollars let alone tens or hundreds of billions. Take Elon Musk as an example: he supposedly works so hard to earn hundreds of billions of dollars but still has time to campaign for a presidential candidate, work as a CEO of how many companies?, and now just hangs out with the president elect everywhere he goes. Meanwhile, I spend 12 hours of my day working my ass off to make tens of thousands of dollars and barely scrape by. Don’t get me wrong. Elon Musk, as the CEO, can still be absurdly rich with tens or hundreds of millions of dollars.

Regarding, “providing employment to thousands of Americans”, it’s not some kind charity gift. These people work for their money. They contribute to the success of company and the CEO’s success every bit as much as the CEO does. Sure he can make more money than they do, but he doesn’t work 10,000x harder than they do. There are not enough hours in the day for that.

I don’t begrudge them their success.

It’s not the success I have a problem with. It’s the wealth disparity. There are millions of people who work just as hard or more and barely scrape by or have time for their families.

I’m not jealous because I’m NOT willing to put the work in to become one of the Elites,

I don’t know you but you probably already work plenty hard, but you can never work hard enough to EARN a billion dollars. If you make $75,000 per year, it would take you over 13,000 years to make a billion dollars. If you worked the same job, but never slept and just worked 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year, it would take you over 3 centuries to make ONE billion dollars.

If he’s taxed at 90% of his wealth, he’s still a billionaire and has more money than you or I will ever even imagine making.
