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.

If people earned the wealth, or they inherited it from their parents, I see nothing wrong with it. If you don't like capitalism, go to North Korea. Just because people have a Billion or a Million makes no difference. It's the person themselves. There are plenty of Billionaires making the world a better place. Some bad apples of course. Some millionaires are complete asses. We can make the same argument that there's a decent amount of poor people creating massive amounts of crime in communities. And then there are a decent amount of humble amazing poor people trying to make the world a better place.
