It's only logical if the only value you put on people is someone's ability to pay for things, and assume that that is somehow linked to their ability to "produce" for the betterment of society. The argument really falls down at the extremes - is Jeff Bezos really worth millions of times more to society than one of his workers? Does being born rich automatically make you more valuable?

In the minds of many Americans, yes. We even have many mega-churches here whose doctrine states that rich people are rich because God loves them more. This is why American Evangelical Christians overwhelmingly support Trump.
