I'm not rich, not MAGA, and don't worship the rich but I was taught to keep my hands off other peoples' stuff , because in this country people are allowed to own things, and other peoples' things don't belong to me.
Others were taught it is fine to take from those who have more than them. An example would be a person suggesting "we" should take 3/4 of Elon Musk's personal wealth... simply because he has it.
If becoming rich is easy, you're welcome to do it. Then you can give your own wealth away.
By the way, I live a simple, frugal lifestyle, and my will gives 100% of my net assets to a children's research hospital when I become cold. So, the money I save, and my collection, and my home, all end up in a good place.
