Good points. Given our capitalistic system, discouraging such wealth accumulation would seem out of reach, or at least something about which "we" can have no real impact. Encouraging philanthropy may be as close as we can come to any kind of meaningful change.

I wonder sometimes if the US was always an oligarchy and I never noticed till now. The concept of wealth redistribution is not one I embrace. But given the outsized influence that billionaires seem to have on US politics, Iâm wondering if we should do something to discourage such wealth accumulation.
