> Rather than work to better society and contribute

I actually do believe that they think that their work improves society and is such contribution. They just work on principles that many people in society do not share.

> to cut taxes further when they could avoid this by focusing on the extreme wealth inequality that makes these paranoid fantasies (that's what they really are) a reality.

I think that they actually believe that a very libertarian society would be better for most people, so your example with lobbying for less taxes is actually some contribution of them for a better society.

Concerning the "extreme wealth inequality" argument: I don't know the position of the 0,01%, but in my personal opinion, people who are born poor should better be angry about their parents that they were given birth in such a shitty circumstances instead of whining how unfair society is.
