Yet its easily possibly possibly to start working towards and move in that direction. That's how anything big ever built, was built.
>>Thus why is it possible for one man to make a billion dollars in paper money but it is not possible for one man to make a billion dollar 747?
Because any big thing company, individual wealth or 747 is built on a concept that works similar to stamina. You don't run a marathon on day 1. It takes a good deal of work over years to make a billion dollars.
Ever wondered why some people are so good at saving money even in stifling financial conditions and then make smart investment decisions? Such people have already tried a lot, failed a lot and have a lot of mental stamina and cache of knowledge in their brains which helps them succeed above people who have far better sources of money but have a equally bad spending habits.
>>Billionaires exist only because the paper money was taken from the wealth produced by other people.
Its a symbiosis. But where you want to belong is really upto you. You now have two options a) to work 20 hours a day, be a god programmer, get a job at wall street, make a few millions and retire. b) take life as usual, work 9-5 and be a commoner.
People who take the option a) are not evil. They only have better priorities than you.
>>wealth inequality is a feature of capitalism
Capitalism offers freedom to chose priorities. And that independence is hard to handle for a lot of people.
>>it is fundamentally unfair because it is taken from others.
Nothing is taken from others. If you think about it very carefully, capitalism gives you what you want. Based on how you look at it and what kind of a person you are, it can be very good or terribly bad news.
