Problem is, the super wealthy have become so detached from the real marketplace that everything they do to make money ends up damaging the country. Their actions are almost 100% contrary to benefiting the rest of the country these days.

For example, the super wealthy don't start companies anymore. Think about it, why start a company that takes up to 5 years to MAYBE turn a profit and requires you to work 12 hours a day when you can simply corner the food commodity or oil markets and make 20% on your money in a month or two?
