Some people work very hard and are very creative. Those who produce more should get more. That isn't the entire picture of how people get wealthy in America, but it is the gist of it. Of course, America has an increasingly corrupt government and a great many people acquiring wealth by using government to scam the rest of us. And we should be railing against that. But the fact that wealth is distributed unevenly is inevitable. Not only are the productive wildly different in their abilities to produce, the ability of the corrupt to steal varies greatly as well.
