That takes a broad base of people with enough money to purchase goods and services. If wealth is concentrated in too few hands things will break down. There needs to be a wealthy class and more importantly upward mobility, but there also needs to be a broad base of folks with enough money to keep money flowing. It's all about balance.

Let me put it this way: When was the last time a middle-class or poor person offered you a job? The rich, either directly or indirectly (through investing, financing, ownership, spending, ect.) create jobs, products, and finally income/salaries.
