Maybe hard to take but these people are wealth creators and make a terrific contribution to society in general (everyone in the state, in this case). Of course they're propping up everyone else. Assuming you're not subject to the naive 'wealth is a pie' fallacy, why are you so bothered about inequality of wealth? As a non-rich person, I don't get it! Questions of power and influence on the folk who sit in government and have really massive sums at their disposal with little ultimate responsibility if they foul up - are much more pertinent but should and can be dealt with separately.
