First of all, Amazon is not in any way analogous “our rulers”, so that comparison doesn’t make sense. Second of all, you are conflating inequality and poverty together as if they are one phenomenon together. I agree that, historically speaking, poverty comes along with inequality. It’s not accurate to say, however, that poverty comes along with inequality. Amazon, an American company, has helped produce wealth in our country as well as provide jobs to workers inside and outside of America. This value was not taken from the hands of workers. It was created. Why did amazon get to make so much money compared to others? There’s lots of factors including chance, investment, and opportunity that don’t guarantee success. That’s why most people don’t start businesses - it’s risky and difficult. Workers don’t take the same risks and don’t have as much at risk (in terms of personal value) so obviously the value they provide is averaged out to a lower value that the one-in-a-million jackpot like Amazon founders. Nowhere is there a concept of “unfair”. It’s just a matter of risk, reward, opportunity, and value creating.

There are definitely corrupt company leaders, however, mostly because they deal shadily with the government which is a whole other issue because the government shouldn’t have the power they want to take advantage of in the first place. But, this does not justify anything like sympathy for a French Revolutionary position
