Hey, I agree. If I was a business man and I was making a cool $1M per year, whatever other profits I make beyond that would easily go to the company and its employees. $1M per year is a very healthy income to live on. However, I would not ever violate another person's right to own whatever they own just because they have an excess of it. Because that too could happen to me. If they gained that excess by means of crime (breaking actual laws), that's a different story.
And I also agree regarding charities.. for example, I don't give my money to the red cross. I'm at work so I don't have access to my bookmarks, but there's a site that lists all charities and what percentages of donations goes to the organization itself vs the people who need it.
The problem with having this much money is the power that it brings. A life of modesty brings you way closer to god than anything else. Billionaires are sometimes praised but poor who dare use tricks to gain wealth are called sinners and immoral people. We're stuck playing a game with rules that are different for everyone.
