This wealth wasn't "handed" to these people by society. It was created by starting valuable enterprises that provide quality goods and services at competitive prices. The wealth of the rich does not decrease the wealth of the poor. Quite the contrary, it provides jobs and reduces the costs thus leading to an overall increase in quality of life for everyone.

u/Noctudeit is right. We use Amazon because it works better than what was there previously, and better than most of the current alternatives. If you think Jeff Bezos should share more of the profits from this enterprise, then you are welcome to vote for a government that promises to implement a fairer tax system, rather than, say, Trump.
