The problem with this entire issue is that everyone's right, here.

It's not fair to take people's legitimately earned wealth and just give it to someone else, just 'cause.

It's not fair that we've built a society that disproportionately distributes cultural advantages to some.

People have the right to not have their wealth taken from them by force.

People have the right to a share of the wealth of the nation in which they live.


The question is how much disparity do we think is appropriate or best in our society between the wealthiest and least wealthy.
Is it very civilized to blame poor people for being poor? Even if it is "their fault"? Does it best serve society to give children a shit education system because their parents are poor? Does it best serve society to allow Jeff Bezos to spend millions if not billions of dollars on a personal space ship? I'm not saying there's no value in letting him do that. I'm asking if that's the best value we as a society could garner from that same money. Noting the stark contrast between what SpaceX is trying to do and what Blue Origin is trying to do.

It's not fair to take Bezos' money simply because we personally don't think he should spend it like that. Not remotely.
It's also not fair to funnel billions of dollars of our nations' wealth into such a tiny constituency, regardless of whether that money was acquired legitimately while children are being underserved in our schools, their teachers living in or near the poverty line.

What we invest in shows our values. Investing in a tool like Bezos is fine. But at the detriment of children and those who teach them? I don't like the current balance. IDK what the right balance is, but this is bad and getting more pronounced.
