Do we really need rich people?

There’s a point of wealthy enough where you would not have to worry about money ever again. I would put that at a million or two. But there’s so many billionaires and a subset of them go around ruining the lives of ordinary people without giving it a second thought. They use their wealth to game the system into getting them off without penalty. Ever heard “Rich people never go to jail” sure there are exceptions but armed with their powerful lawyers this is the sad truth 99% of the time.
