In the natural state of things, one does work and in doing work one gains roughly equal wealth in exchange for an equal amount of work.
Yielding compounding returns on investments with little risk is gaining wealth for no work. That is unnatural.
What is more unnatural is when an obscenely rich person earns a million a year as a return on investments. A million dollars in wealth in one year is usually not equivalent to the output of one man. Multiple people must work together to generate that amount of GDP. So how does a rich man procure the wealth equivalent to the work of multitudes of people without contributing any work himself? He must do so in a way that is unnatural.
