I respect rich people who are rich through running factories or in other ways get paid for direct physical services provided, without any financial derivatives, tax optimisations, etc. Even tax optimisation is not an arbitrage to push countries to evolve through competition, it is centralization through globalization, and basically just a scam game.

Yet, I am not saying that good people should not do bad things. They should do anything necessary to become more powerful than bad people, and then keep the power.
