Always referring to "rich" people in a dehumanizing manner doesn't lend any further ethical weight to the concept of taking from them the sweat of their own brow. Compile your list of "they are evil and don't deserve their money because" A, B, and C reasons, but at the end of the day the fact remains that money is hard to earn. Money represents hard work. On a purely ethical basis, it isn't right to take from a man the fruit of his own labor. What you're doing is concocting an elaborate, narrative construct to convolutedly justify something which is plainly wrong.
