Also, considering that no endeavors happen in a vacuum, and that those fortunes couldn't have been made without the society and economy that the lower classes slave to maintain, it's hard to look at any amount of money as purely belonging to one person. When someone hoards wealth to such insane degrees that it further lessens the already limited pool of money in our economy, maybe society has the right to level the playing field, even if only in extreme circumstances.
Well, my inheritance is going to come from a life insurance policy, so how is that not my money? I pay the premiums: you gonna say Karen don't deserve to reap the rewards of that when I shuffle off this mortal coil?
