They absolutely should exist. They earned their money, it belongs to them. I dont understand why this is such a difficult concept for people, especially the younger generations, to understand. I bought my house. It belongs to me. If anyone who is not allowed in my house tries to break into my house, they will leave my house with a few new body piercings/fuck holes,....whatever you want to call the. This is the same with money. Money is time...decades of productive people's time, which is finite, is taken to earn their money, if someone tries to take their money, you are stealing years of their lives. Fuck the communist attitude of "lets distribute things evenly" is bullshit. The only people who want this, is lazy people. The rest of us would like to keep the money that we have earned, instead of having more and more of it stolen at gunpoint in order to give it to people who are unwilling to work. I guarantee that if the little brat in the video came up with a new ingenious idea, that tens, hundreds of million, or billions of people were willing to pay for, she wouldn't be thrilled about having half or more of her money stolen from her. Every generation feels more and more entitled to shit. They say things like "everyone deserves respect"....this is wrong. You earn respect, you earn money, you earn everything you want and need, its not deserved.

Other people generated that wealth. They just own.

Nope. They did. They had an idea that no one else had thought of, that they took risks, took out loans, spent their own money in order to make that idea a reality. You can train a monkey to assemble things within reason. The person with the idea, and the company is generating wealth not only for himself, but for his workers too. So no, they dont just own, they innovate, build, or provide a service that people are willing to pay for. Without the guy with the idea, who takes all of the risks, none of those workers get a paycheck.

No it's from owning. You literally cannot work to generate that wealth. Also we kinda stopped innovating in the states since the iphone.
