When you bring together lots of brilliant minds and lots of dedicated workers, creators, innovators, inventors, and designers, all working hard to create things that help other people achieve something desirable, you deserve to be rewarded. Do you deserve $201 billion of the wealth that everyone created? Probably not, but by the laws and systems we support, you can take it.

I support capitalism. I support innovation and progress. I support inspiring desire in people to join together and work to make the world a better place, and for those that choose to help achieve a common goal that leads to these results, my opinion is they've earned a fair share. I'm not saying $201 billion is a fair share though.

Obviously, there should be some limits and better sharing of the wealth that is created. I remember reading not so long ago about Amazon workers who were not high in the hierarchy who were being worked like robots, measured like tools, pissing in bottles in desperation, and living in their cars. No doubt they represent a fraction of desperate people in a system that spans larger than just direct Amazon employment. And all, from the top of the pyramid to the wide base have contributed a share of the wealth they created to help build the wealth of this one man... and many others.

I suppose, all in mind, the recurring, underlying thought continues to be, How do we create a fairer system? There is surely no need for an individual to own so much, while millions upon millions struggle, and counting on the generosity of the individual human and their sole genius to build a fairer system obviously doesn't work.
