There’s no way to obtain that much personal wealth without the time and labor of others

Moderately rich, yes. Extremely, no. If you’re a billionaire, you did something wrong to get there and you should be taxed more

What are we calling "extremely rich and powerful", anything over 2 mil in liquid is unethical if youre not actively doing high levels of philanthropy imo

"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money" (Matthew 6:24, NIV).

Yes, in the sense that i believe that extremely rich people could STILL be extremely rich if they didnt exploit their workers/paid them a fair wage

You also need to consider income sources and the ethicality of all of that, connections for power and how ethical those people and their wealth is, etc, etc

Your very existence disproves your statement. Have a great day though and God bless you. Jesus loves you.
