They certainly don't put back into the system as much as they take out.
Certain levels of wealth are understandable, and good, but things have gone crazy lately.
You certainly shouldn't have to give up on having a life in order to accumulate reasonable amounts of wealth.
However - - - You can not deny those who are ambitious and want a better life. There must be different layers people can attain. You can't stop someone who is willing to work hard to attain the life they want.

IMO it doesn't take so much ambition to succeed,as it takes the willingness to take advantage of others when the situation presents itself. The way to accumulate wealth is to go along with the system, and take advantage when the opportunity presents itself. Sure it takes ambition, but not as much ambition as working to make this a better world.
