 &quot;...the people who create something worth $300B out of nothing...&quot;<p>This is a false statement. I applaud people who succeed in their businesses but accruation of lots of capital to a few people is not only due to them but due to the existing society around them. Infrastructure which facilitates logistics and enables a pool of workforce, stable civil society, etc. Not to talk about the economic system which makes financial transactions cheap and predictable.<p>If you don&#x27;t like the idea of redistribution, let&#x27;s think it like this: from the point of view of personal wealth, the economy is like a giant casino where the games are more complicated but most people actually win - and some people win a lot. Taxes can be thought as a fee for the right to participate in the fun and games.
