Even in the context of the global economy it is bat shit insane for 62 uber billionaires to have the combined wealth of 3 billion humans.

NOBODY can get rid of the private sector globally, that is a utopia and will never happen. But when the gap between the top and bottom gets out of range, it is no different than if you had a tropical fish tank and didn't keep the water temperature within the range the fish can live.
The stock market is up due to business friendly actions to jumpstart the economy, and flood it with liquidity to create optimism for growth so people are willing to take on risk to start business ventures and hire for positions. Generally speaking. If you are invested you are likely making money. Have you become wealthier or lost money yourself?
Stop JUST FUCKING STOP!
If the rich got everything right all the time, there would be no need for voting. If the rich got everything right America would not suffered the Great Depression or Bush's great Recession.
If the rich got everything right there would not have been a stock market crash under Reagan.

If the rich got everything right we would not have had the Enron bubble or dot com bubble in the 90s.
If the rich got everything right we would not have suffered Bush's triple whammy Bank, car housing collapse.
Nobody I would call sane is against the private sector. So stop stupidly thinking anyone who objects to your bullshit logic is out to get you.
Taxing billionaires wont hurt them. Huge difference between "cant" and "don't want to".
