The problem is the way this is stated. “Their wealth” is a misnomer. Is some of it their wealth? Of course. But the Waltons as one example, don’t amass $432 billion without STEALING from their employees. Stealing can be in the form of non-liveable wages such that SNAP benefits are required, not paying skilled labor commensurate to that skill, skimping on health care benefits, not offering yearly bonuses to labor staff when profits rise, etc. Bezos is another example, stealing wages to build a penis rocket instead of allowing his staff a solid living. Lying to unions about internal wealth distribution availability. Failure to make true cost of living increases AND merit raises for increased xp each year.
All of that is stealing.
Their wealth? Not all of it.
Private property is theft.
