Another perspective: many people are born lucky. They may have great intelligence (most of self-made multimillionaires are above average in intelligence), rich parents (and therefore can afford better schools & tutors), some special talent and live in an environment that allows it to develop fully, or great looks, etc. These people end up with a lot of material wealth based on luck of birth.
At the same time, they benefits from services provided by the less fortunate. Owners of large businesses can't be that rich if they don't have enough customers. (If you sell in a small country and don't export, you can never be nearly as rich as Bill Gates.)
Is it fair that they should share some of that luck and wealth back to help the underprivileged and their customers/employees?
