    Have you considered the possibility that only evil people are capable of acquiring that much power and wealth because that much power and wealth is only possible by evil means?

      Inheritance is an interesting aspect: if my grandfather stole and passed it to my father who passed it to me, I can acquire it by doing nothing.

      This is not a counter-argument - it highlights that doing nothing is complicity in injustice.

      Lotteries exist. Boom, disproven.
