What do you think about this argument?

It shouldn’t bother you that some people are obscenely wealthy (billionaires) because they earned it, that’s their money, and they should spend or save it however they want to. But government waste? That should really piss you off because that’s your money!

Disclaimer: I disagree with the sentiment, but at the moment I can’t seem to think of a valid rebuttal.

It doesn’t bother me unless they are doing something to get that money that will harm society and then use what they get to manipulate and harm even more. Part of the problem is the consumers that won’t stop serving them by purchasing their goods or services when they could easily forego it. They didn’t get that rich all on their own.
