you're right, wealth creates wealth. You lending money in the form of investment allows companies to borrow at better rates, expanding production and prosperity. & you're right, at a certain point when you have enough capital it doesn't make sense to be a laborer anymore as you can move markets enough with your cash to be an 'Investor' instead of a laborer.

Granted, obviously the current system is not perfect and does need a mechanism to make the rich pay their fair share in the economy. But saying all the rich just inherited their wealth and they did nothing to deserve it is plain incorrect.
