But they worked so haaaaaard exploiting the labor of thousands of other humans to enrich themselves specifically!

It would be so unfair to punish the success the global owner class had all by themselves that had nothing to do with access to their society’s commons like functioning utilities and roads, legal mechanisms for business disputes, and publically educated, pre-literate labor pools to draw and directly profit from but should never have to fund commensurate with the immoral levels of wealth it most certainly didn’t facilitate them acquiring!

Wouldn’t a just, compassionate society do the fair thing and just let the worst off die in the streets?
