What you call "shuffling money around", other's call funding companies with potential so they can sustain or accelerate their business, hire more staff, develop new products, provide those products in new regions etc.

Investing is how you get rich in this world. Whether it's real estate, stocks, bonds or any other non-depreciating asset classes. Investing is not without risk. America would not be what it is today without investors risking their money since at least the 1920's. If you think continuously successful investors don't work for their money, then you are simply ignorant about the complexities and time consumption that continuously successful investing requires.

You mean the country where the rich get richer and are the only one enjoying education and healthcare? The country where poor is the new "middle class"?

Money makes money in our current (imho diseased) economy, but it is coming from somewhere.
