True, it is giving a lot of people jobs. But I would agree with USSRv2 that it could have been used for a lot of more useful things that would still provide jobs.
He has generated a vast amount of wealth, employed legions of people across the world, keeping them and their families alive all that time. His industry will have driven an improvement in the local infrastructure of anywhere his production is that was lacking previously. The bringing together of large numbers of people into a factory will have given local people a new economy as these workers need food, clothing etc

In doing all that he will pay more tax per day than you or I will pay in a year. And your thinking he should give up more of what he has created? Why should he?

If all the people like him in the world left, went on strike so to speak, because they were tired of bloodsucking parasites trying to bleed them of their creations, what do you think would happen to the world? A new dark age, that's what.


Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
