> Can anyone prove it? Sure, just follow their bank statements and other financial ledgers. > Do they need it? I dunno, 'need' is tricky to define. Could you list all of the needs that you think you have? Why do you think you are entitled to those needs? > Is a CEO with multiple mansions and private jets and billions in the bank more worthy of life than the guy working in the mines processing the raw materials of modern civilization but living from paycheck to paycheck and barely able to support a family? Certainly not. Are we talking about life or money? > What about the mogul who raises essentials prices during a crisis? Or the traffickers running prostitution rings? There are many ways to make money without "earning" it. Can you make sure that only the people who earned their money can have it? You make a fair point, there are many ways to collect money with questionably ethical methods. Does that matter? What about rich technology workers? Folks that own businesses that aren't spectacular, like car insurance companies, speed boat manufacturers, construction companies, etc?
