It’s odd that when the few have most of the wealth that a large number of people sign on to the BS put out by the rich that you only have to work hard and you can be like them.

It's a scam. They didn't get rich allowing some other rich guy to claim the excess value of their labor. They accumulated their own value, and grew their own wealth, not someone else's.

You won't get rich working for someone else. They will.
