Assuming the 20% that own 80% (pareto principle) got theirs LEGITIMATELY and ETHICALLY, why give them grief?

Would doing anything else be IMMORAL because it violates the Law of Cause and Effect? ie., if I want a big mansion in Malibu (effect), I have to plan hard, work hard, take risks, constantly solve problems/innovate/network (cause)....
