I will concur with your opinion the moment you can name one 9 or 10 digit net worth person who can factually (and verifiably) be proven to be "hoarding" money. The idea that the only way people can become that rich is by "fucking over" millions along the way is not absolutely true. Does Bill Gates fuck over people who willingly purchase his windows systems? Not that there were a lot of alternatives, but should he not be allowed any profit because it might end up that he has more money than most other people? And who the hell goes to Starbucks anyway - I can afford better coffee than that. My point is, all these generalizations and stereotypes you are describing are dangerous because they influence gullible people and spur them to violence. Being super rich not only isn't a crime, it's a major part of the American dream.
