>There’s a lot of vitriol aimed at rich people right now, regardless of how they attained their wealth. I imagine it’ll soon be transferred to talented people as well.

As a rule, few wealthy people extract 100% of their wealth and few earn 100%.

The wealthy that extract 98% sure try to downplay that part and try to pretend that they're among the miniscule number who earned 90+%.

Most manage to self delude themselves that vitriol against the wealthy IS vitriol against talent. Their egos demand it.
