That is the fundamental question confronted by eminent philosophers like Karl Marx, Gandhi etc. Das Capital is a complete treatise on the role of capital in formation of wealth. He saw the basic flaw in the system where in the formation wealth, only the role of capital is given recognition and that of the workers who toil for the creation of wealth is ignored. Hence, he called the accumulation of wealth in the persons who invested the capital as exploitation. Historically, he showed how the traditionally toiling masses, who were producing their goods through their own individual enterprise had to give way to the mass production, introduced by the capitalists, They themselves had to join these big industries to eke out their living, for the paltry wages paid by them. This paved the way for the disparity between the haves and the have nots. Hence, Marx advocated for the proliterates revolution which will enable the possession of the instruments of production by the State to be formed by the workers. However, the Laisse faire theory, is opposed to this philosophy. According to them, capitalism is an important vehicle for production of goods and in the absence of the profitability, there cannot any individual intiatve for production of goods. The economy has to be controlled by the market forces of supply and demand. There ought to be more and more indivual players to operate in the market so that there is competition which in turn will result in quality of the product and economy.
Gandhiji, on the other hand, propounded a novel idea of trusteeship. He was firmly of the view that the wealth generated in the society should be used for the collective and common use of the society. He did not oppose the formation of wealth in the hands of a few indivuals. But, he insisted that these individuals on whom the collective wealth of the society had accumulated should consider themselves as the trustees of the society. They should consider that the wealth that has fallen in their hands cannot be used for their exclusive enjoyment. They have to be maintained and spent as if he is holding the wealth as the custodian of the riches of the society, to be spent for their welfare.

Even ignoring the double negatives, a milliner is a hat maker. I really do not know many milliners, but I know they are not overly wealthy.
You apparently don't understand free enterprise, and would limit everyone so you don't have to excel in anything.. even in the English language. I am against that premise for many reasons.
I reject rules and laws that infringe upon my civil liberties.

You wrote "milliner". A milliner is someone who makes hats. I don't know that they're all notoriously rich.
Necessity? Don't think it is a necessity.
"cant rule that no one should not" What?? I get that your asking something about the unfairness of rich versus poor but I'm losing your specific question. Sorry, my friend.

well thouse that have erned and worked hard have bin gifted in money, if we are not charged up to get a pice of the pie, we will not. every one has the opertunaty but most like to spend it as it comes. Don't whant to take chances in investments ,or buy shares if you put one hundred dollars away starting say 16 when you start your first job how much would you have buy the time you are 25 which is a good age to know more of life. That is nine years so you have saved 1200.a year plus 4%interest x that buy 9 10,899.x4% interest.=apr. $432.00 = 11, 331.00
now if you had that in the bank you could buy a house and live in it for a couple years and fix it up and make at lest . 100,000.00 on resale . your morgage is going to cost like rent . you will still have to pay bills . or buy a condo I bought one at 225.000.00 and I have had it for 4 years now and I up graded it. to a much more demanding decore and I had it estamated as what I can sell it for and I can sell it for $450.000.00 so if I sell right now ,I have dubbled my money and I can rebuy a condo again at the same price. If you look hard for it and have $225000.00 in the bank were if I left it as is I would have made $100,000.00 But every one is into drinking and new cars and exspecive close, do you think that thouse that have money today were born with it . They had to work hard for it some worked two three job to get a head. like my dad . My dad raised 6 children and ended up making it big reilly big starting with changing tires. and saving what ever he could. buy the time I was 15 he made his first million. now he has 68 shops across BC and owns land and building and franchise and he is also the holsaller that these busnesses buy from pluse other shops . He was never given any money he just saved and became a good sales person . making contracs with car lots taxy companys city police RCMP . and the word just spread .His company is well knowen every one in Bc nows it . Now he has 15 hourses that he races all over the contry for a hoby now that he is retired . and his son has taken his place in the bussness. It is just a matter of what your prioritys are and guts and will and ready to take a gamble .
I moved to Mexico and walked into acompany and offered them my servaces . I said that I personaly can bring them 1000.00 people a week to eat. and up there sales 50% in there clothing line, if tey hired me. they gave me three months to just show them a increas, well they use to have some one that sent people and they got 25 a month and in my first month I made 50 or more a week buy the end of the three months I was bringing in 200.a week buy the end of the year ,I was bring a 1000.00 a week but I didn 't stop after one year. I was making in comision at 1&1/2cents per person and 500.00 salery a month .I was puting in the bank 6000.00 us after my exspenses in the bank . I did this for 6 years. I created a job for my self and I mad it big ,but there was alot of jelousy and they wanted to cut my comision in half and have me start againg .I said good buy . Sad for them they just when down hill from there on . For I whent to work for five othere companys all paying me 500.00us in salery and the same comision . one year latter I came back home . to Bc so you can work out the amount I made . You got to whant it hard inough and stop thinking it will come to you . becouse it will not . every one out there that has mad it big discirves what they made and you got to remember every person that is Rich hase thousands of people working for them. so they are creating jobs for the world .With out them we would be in total poverty if you took them away .LMK

Because, all are not expert businessman and depend upon others for their livelihood.
socialism may help controlling equal earnings for equal labours but in a poor country, it may also divide poverty equally than richness among its people.

it`s no use.humans r very greedy.even if all the people had equal wealth,many would try to get more and more wealth,by illegal means.and what about those politicians.they would rather run off somewhere with all the wealth than make such laws.

It isn't a necessity.
Your suggestion has been tried by communists and Marxists, socialists and populists for a long time.
It didn't work.
