I’m not super rich but I wouldn’t call their wealth “unearned”. Why are you privy to their money? The rich have an us vs them mentality because the media demonizes them for working hard. I dislike rich people as much as anyone but the productive response isn’t rage. Rage gives the rich even more power and reason to look for more reasons to hide their wealth and exploit. If you’re so convinced the rich have “harmed” you why not try to move somewhere where you believe your ideals are more aligned? |

People who take your view that billionaires deserve their money because they "work hard" -- and I'm sure some of them do work hard -- usually don't realize how much money a billion dollars really is. An individual could never work hard enough or long enough or smart enough to deserve that amount of money.
- A million seconds ago was 12 days ago. A billion seconds ago was the 80s.
- With a 5% return on their wealth -- most billionaires actually make closer to 10% returns -- you make $137,000 a day if you have a billion dollars. So the poorest billionaires make more money in a day than 99% of Americans make in an entire year.

Nobody should have that much money. Nobody.
