Also 3 people own more the those 50% of Americans[0]. I find it hard to believe 1 person is responsible for as much as 50 million people, and these 3 richest people leveraged other peoples labor to create this wealth. With Bezos as an example would he have anything at all with out the internet (created by DARPA) or the transportation infrastructure maintained by our tax dollars?
What you are calling stealing is simply paying for services that made wealth creation possible.

- czbond 6y agoI'm not surprised by it, why would you? A few people in a generation have the spectacular combination of luck + 'wind behind their back' to accomplish more than millions of people I would suggest. How many people go through life accomplishing relatively little - holding themselves to subpar standards? A thought example is Einstein, Feynman, Bohr compared to 'common folks' - same thing, different domain.
