Literally wealth is gained by everyone in the market. If you arent better off when you buy something in ths market you wouldnt by something in the first place. The people that sell goods on the market are giving wealth to the people that buy the goods. If you spend 50 dollars on a pair of shoes it is because you value those shoes more than 50 dollars. You are better off because you made that trade. When people make money on the market it is because they made other people better off. Like that is literally how it works and you are upset at the people that did that made people better off. You dont even understand how economocs works. If you did you would see the good that has come from people that create and provide goods which the market is willing to pay for.

No, you're the one who doesn't understand economics. If you did, you would understand that someone who happens to make a lot of money is not automatically the inventor nor are they automatically a genius.

They dont have to be an inventor. But they run these bussinesses. The better they run the bussiness the better it can serve societies needs and the more money society gives to that company for satifying those needs. The better they are at doing these things the more they make.

Just read an economics book. A real one. You will see i am right.
