I, personally, have no problem with people achieving and being economically successful. A person that is creative, industrious and presents the world with a product or skill that has value, and virtue should enjoy the fruits of their labor.
However.
I view wealth hoarders, who aggregate fortunes, sit on them, and by doing so freeze out millions of their countrymen from a pathway to success, or even modest survival, as profoundly evil.
Two 70+ men sitting on a 42 billion dollar fortune are not an asset to American Society. They are, in fact, damaging to America and its future.
From my perspective it's all about proportion, and dismissing the notion that somehow keeping other people down elevates you, which I view as a hallmark of the wealth hoarders worldview.
The lesson taught to us by our parents when we were children is still the most valuable to us as adults.
