“But what people are saying is that the narrative that billionaires built their wealth themselves is false and that they should be taxed heavily in recognition

“But what people are saying is that the narrative that billionaires built their wealth themselves is false and that they should be taxed heavily in recognition of the fact that they built their wealth off of the work of others.”
So are you saying that there should be a higher tax for a person who profits off the labor of someone else?
Surely the person who constructed the system (that gave opportunity to the other individual they’re profiting off of) added some benefit to the other individual as well, otherwise wouldn’t the other individual work for himself or elsewhere?
Or is the argument that there is always a moral cap on how much profit a person can make off someone else?
