Nobody got their wealth just by themselves. "No matter how you butter it up."

Just replace "stealing" by paying back what you owe to society for providing you with everything you needed to make money: a safe environment, the rule of law, infrastructure, maybe education and healthcare, public investments into fundamental research etc...

Then if our society decide to give a part of what you paid back to Paul, that's a political question but it is not fundamentally unfair.

I like to add that I'm personally incredibly thankful to the Government for creating the earth we live on, the sun, the moon and all the stars.
