No, it shows the "gross discrepancy" between producers and consumers. Nobody is forcing anyone to buy a damn thing from Microsoft. Gates and his corporation provides a product, and another wants it. Whether or not he's worth tens of billions is irrelevant. He acquires wealth legally and the "poor" spend it legally. Who are you to dictate interference in bilateral agreements?
That's not the point. Him having 56 billion does not impede your wealth potential.
Sure would, because changes to the economic system, in the long run, have a much higher chance of hurting them than helping them.
Fortunately the free market trumps your perceived morality. Thank God we can't oppress people with your views on the world.
If these little fucking socialists and communists worried about their own financial well-being than other people's, they'd be a whole lot better off.
I have no idea why 56 billion dollars should even be considered fulfillment of the American dream. Instead it demonstrates the gross discrepancy between the wealthy and poor and ultimately the greatest weakness of rampant unchecked capitalism.

Instead many would uphold an economic system above the lives of the poor and continue to praise its instabilities as testimony to its success.

At the very least acknowledge that no single person deserves this much wealth and that such a person can continue living in luxury with a fraction of his wealth.
