are they thinking that a person is taking from nature, who freely gives, and not understanding that a person is taking from the pool of wealth created by ppl's work?
they think that a person getting rich doesnt steal from others, bc they are thinking of a person's work as like going out in nature and grabbing some valuable from mother nature? so they think: if a person gets rich, what is that to do with others?
whereas, the pool one fishes in for wealth is made up of the products of ppl's labour, & of natural things owned by ppl by birthright?
bill gates puts in the pool the products of one hr of his work, and takes out $500,000 av - the products of 50,000 hrs of others' labour - legally steals the products of 49,999 hrs work - money for no work, making work for no money for others - it takes only 8000 ppl getting up to a million times the avg hrly pay to steal 100% of the money/ earnings/ products in the world - we hav 1% stealing 89% - US$70 tln/yr - and we cant grasp it

The vision of Bill Gates made that possible. Othewise the labour would have been gone as a waste.

To realise an objective of an organisation man is onlly one source, but other resources of money, material, method, machine or equipment and managemet are essential. hence it is the wisdom of Bill Gates the other resources to help the labour has resulted in the achievement.

No.

“The man who does no more than physical labor, consumes the material value-equivalent of his own contribution to the process of production, and leaves no further value, neither for himself nor others. But the man who produces an idea in any field of rational endeavor---the man who discovers new knowledge—is the permanent benefactor of humanity. Material products can’t be shared, they belong to some ultimate consumer; it is only the value of an idea that can be shared with unlimited numbers of men, making all sharers richer at no one’s sacrifice or loss,……”

There is a difference between driving a bulldozer, building a bulldozer, designing a bulldozer and digging with a shovel. Each has a different value.

No-one is taking from anyone, making wealth is not a "zero-sum game" in a growth (world) economy. If you want to study plunder, look at Europe in the 5th century.
