It's a problem when they use that money to deny people below them the opportunity to build themselves up and achieve similar greatness. It happened in the Industrial Revolution and it's been happening since the end of WW2. The problem is not Capitalism it is Corporatism. If the government wasn't so busy sucking the corporate dick it might spend more time dealing with the corruption in the upper echelons of western society.

Someone has to have the capital to keep the world turning.
What do you think they do with their money?
They make more money by investing in goods trading and infrastructure, which directly benefits everyone else.

People who bitch about this only care about themselves. They think they are in the minorit even though they live in a developed country.
If wealth was distributed fairly over the entire world I am sure they would then bitch about having to live in a crappy mud hut.

Probably closer to the truth.
I'm pretty sure if you make minimum wage in
most decent countries than you're in the global 1%.
