And let's all remember, the money they "earned" was off the value of workers. It's literally the root of capitalism vs socialism. Many just think socialism is just give people what they need for free. In reality, it's workers essentially owning the company so they get all the value of their work. Investors getting money for basically putting numbers in a different column in a spreadsheet is not them honestly earning their keep. The wealthy exploit labor.

This.

Money and wealth accrued because you own some property that some other people toil in or on is not "earned". It's taken from those who earned it.

i used to love watching "Shark Tank". it's pretty gross.
