when I was like 12 I wrote in a school assignment that, basically, Bill Gates having tons of money but not spending it was essentially the same as taking money from everyone else; it's not in circulation, therefore until he spends it it's almost like it doesn't exist except maybe to make him richer.

The teacher wrote a ??? as if I'd said something nonsensical, but I still stand by it. The existence of billionaires is a sign of an unhealthy "trickle up" economy.
