Because the more money you have, the more you're able to invest, and the more you earn, meaning you've got more money to invest, meaning you earn more ...
And that is greatly simplified.
If I start my own business which turns out being super successful and I make a lot of money, and then I invest that money, and make more money... how is that bad for poor people? Again, it seems like a freedom thing. A person should have the legal right to make money and use that money wisely as to get more money out of it. I don't see what it is about this that is unfair. What exactly am I missing?
What if instead of starting your own business you simply are born into a big trust fund? Seems to me like you neither need to employ anyone, and you've got quite the headstart.
I'm not saying either case should be illegal, but it sure doesn't strike me as a level playing field, nor does it seem that the trust-funder did much work for his station in life.
