If you are looking for 'justification' Daisy, that might take me a long, long time to find.

I don't think we need them but do think we can't stop like finding like.

The concentration of power within a small proportion of society can lead to the belief that these people's position is justified or beneficial for society's stability.

Economic systems like the extreme capitalism of the Trump/Farage/Conservative Party kind, can also reinforce the idea that inequality is a natural or necessary outcome of individual effort and talent.

If you agree that we need these groups of the ultra rich, could you explain to the rest of us your reasoning/justification for such inequality?
