pray tell what is wrong with that? Would you prefer a system that limits how much a person can earn? What good would that achieve and then who would set that target? If we do that with some people, then why not all. Keep in mind, many of these wealthy people are self made, it is not what some employer paid them. So would you deny the garbage person or factory worker from the ability to be smart with his/her money and make a lot on investments or starting a new company? Plenty of financial success stories have started that way.
