If existing with enough money to afford appetizers or desert and entrées without worrying about the cost every time you eat out means you're a baby-killing murderer because you don't live like Diogenes. Basically the "you live in a society yet you criticize it" bit
You don't need to give to charity to the point you're living in poverty, but if you can significantly improve someone else's life without meaningful impact to your own there is a duty to do so.
The ultra rich are in the unique position that they can order the creation of systems to directly mitigate the worst excesses of capitalism. The failure to do so is what makes them mass murderers. The logic doesn't apply to the proletariat, and under socialism I would hope no individual has that power.
