>The truth is that the VCs have created absolutely none, zero of the wealth in Silicon Valley. All of the wealth was created by the workers who built these companies. You sound too emotionally invested [1] in a world view and that is clouding your judgement and understanding of the situation. Peter Thiel, Marc Andreesen, Paul Graham, and countless other VC's were once "workers" who produced a great deal of the wealth of SV, and are now reinvesting it into the ecosystem's next generation. Logically speaking, no amount of confirming examples can prove your assertion true, but one single refuting example can completely disprove it. I believe I just did that. You can't tar everyone with the same brush, and doing so only takes you, and all of us, further from the reality and truth of the situation, not closer.
