such have been paid to these wealthy people simply because of their wealth. And it'll get worse.

After a while, there won't be any more to tax, to bring in revenues to fund government and their programs, despite the fact that a stable economic environment is critical and essential for those to make money. When will these scumbags realize it and pay their more than fair share?
