Nice try to justify the existence of the "elite" super-rich, but the
additional fact is that a great fraction obtain their money by the
exploitation of every trick, every tweak, every cheat that they can
get away with. The fact is that the biggest cor****ations, with the
most highly paid CEOs (and well off investors) also employ a smaller
relative number of employees than the small businesses, and so I'm
happy for the guys who run small businesses and employ larger
fractions of the population and the owners/executives of most of those
are welcome to make more money but its still a lot less than the
ripoff super-rich.

There is a lot of mythology about how "free" we are and yet for 99% of
the people, 99% of their business transactions are based on prices
they will pay at all the stores, with ZERO bargaining power, and they
will pay with money that they make, 99% of the time, with ZERO
bargaining power over how much their wages will be (most employers
will offer a job on a take it or leave it pay scale).  That "power
situation" has much more power fall on the side of the rich, as it has
been through most of history, and the underlings have almost zero
control over it. The only situation where the underlings have a little
control is when unions are present and are working within (preferably
low corruption) conditions that allow some power to be shared with the
executives. The idea that you can just not shop at a given store if
you don't like the price is a bogus option since all of those prices,
even at competitors, are cranked out on spreadsheets to maximize
profit for the sellers (minimize bargains for the buyers). Etc.
