Umm... I'm not sure I agree with your point of view. Would you be able to explain how exactly they've made money by "riding on the backs and stomping on the stomachs of countless poorer classes who can barely scrape together a full meal on some days"? The wealth of these billionaires is not in cash stashed away some where; it is the value of the assets they hold, primarily the shares of the companies they hold majority stakes in. In other words, people like you and me expressed our trust in their ability to run a business well and invested some of our money to buy shares in their company, and that price is used to calculate the value of the shares already held by them. Besides, even as their personal worth has grown, they have created opportunities and employments for countless people, besides the amount of charity they do at their personal behest. It sounds like a case of sour grapes when we criticize the self-made or self-maintained billionaires.
