It's a ####ty system when you can use your massive wealth (largely made off the backs of others) to buy off politicians and get all kinds of breaks. Pollute everything, deregulate everything, bust unions, give the rich another tax cut. Jeff needs another yacht!
It's only "up to you what you get out of it" if you happen to have the best opportunities at the right times to fully leverage your abilities and talents and get maximum return for what you have to offer. There's a LOT of luck involved. You don't become a billionaire without a lot of things falling into place for you. Yes there's a ton of hard work, but there's also a lot of luck required.
The fact that you refuse to answer the example I gave, shows that you truly know that billionaires need us non-billionaires WAAAAAAY more than we need them, but you just won't admit it.
