> net benefit for humanity

Some people might argue that wealth concentrated in the top 1% is a net benefit if you look at it as one big pool of resources. But will the remaining 99% actually see any of that benefit? Or will the 1% simply tighten their grip, keeping the rest dependent on their “generosity”?

The people that make that argument are making it in bad faith. They should be flogged.
No worries! It's gonna trickle down to us and we'll be happy owning nothing /s
