Even if a lot of the 1% are genuinely hard working, do they deserve THAT MUCH WEALTH? Okay let's say you're a genuine innovator who came up with some pretty rad ideas on how to improve technology or infrastructure, cool, I'm all for you getting a nice pile of cash to live a Cush lifestyle. But does Bezos really deserve THAT MUCH MONEY just for coming up with the idea to sell books from a warehouse online? To me that "brilliant" idea is worth a decent upper middle class lifestyle but not fucking "I can fund my own private nasa" money.
There are medical scientists who make much bigger contributions to society by finding treatments for skin cancer and shit who make good money but just a fraction of what Musk of Bezos makes.
