I agree to some extent that wealth begetting wealth can be problematic, but in order to have the first bit of wealth someone has to create it. If you made the first hammer you'd be able to make more hammers much easier. You've effectively made the world wealthier by your work and invention and as a result it's fair that you get more than just the value of your hammer. Your claim about making more wealth from wealth than labor kinda skips over the parts about needing so much wealth and having to accumulate it.
