And, I mean, the value "they" are creating is the product of the labor of a lot of people, who are not remunerated to such an extent.

Most of these billionaires agree with you and are constantly working on improving these weak links in their companies.

In Germany, we have in our constitution "Eigentum verpflichtet. Sein Gebrauch soll zugleich dem Wohle der Allgemeinheit dienen"... roughly translated, "ownership creates obligations, its use shall serve the common good". The US doesn't have such obligations.
