I'm also doing well for myself. Quite well. I also understand that my ability to have done well for myself is dependent on a variety of factors that had absolutely nothing to do with me or my hard work. None of us are a product of the void - if I build a successful company, the people I employ were in large part the product of the public school systems and colleges that receive significant funding and benefit from the government. They get to my office on public roads. The water running to their house is delivered by public civil works. The police officers keeping my business safe are paid out of public funds.
The fact of the matter is no one with a eight or nine+ figure net worth got there without greatly benefiting from society at large, and society at large has not received a share of the wealth that was created that is proportional to it's contribution. Wealth inequality is ever growing and corporatism funnels that wealth and concentrates it at the very top, which they then use that wealth (and in turn power) to further stack the deck to further concentrate it.
I worked hard to get to where I am. But I also recognize that many, many, many people have worked just as hard, or harder, as I have, and not had nearly the success I did. And I'm not going to pretend it's because I'm so much better than them - effectively, it was because I was lucky enough to receive opportunities I could capitalize on. Many people don't get those opportunities, due to no fault of their own.
