It's only "up to you what you get out of it" if you happen to have the right 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.

Dude you are just spouting off a 2025 version of The Communist Manifesto, it didn't work in the 20th century and won't work in the 21st century.
Things aren't perfect for sure but its better than everything being horrible. People wanted to escape those places and some where killed for it, why buy into that filth?
Some people are just more productive than others and that has value and other people can cash in on that value
Some people are pefectly happy with their 9-5 that pays all the bills and gives them a vacation here and there, thats fine too
Thats FREEDOM.
Get on the train or you will be left behind comrade
