You are like the slave that was "lucky" enough to work in the house instead of the field. You don't see anything wrong with the owners taking all the increased profits that the workers generate because you are a little better off than the field slaves. You love the massa who takes all the money because you get a few more scraps and can look down on the "dirty lazy" field hands.
When labor becomes more productive then they deserve a share of that increased production. The wealthy do not deserve to take all pf the increase in wealth just because they had more money to start with.
