It’s because with money these people have power. With money they can control politicians; and by allowing some small portion of their wealth to be redistributed by the government, the politicians can exert control over the people through dependence. Thus, money gives these people power over you – if you let them.
The hubris of demanding they be taxed more – that you become more dependent on them, their money, and the politicians who redistribute it – rather than simply taking less and allowing you to gain independence exposes their true goal.
