I looked up "ultra rich" in Webster's dictionary. It turns out there is no actual definition because it's a subjective term you made up.
Please tell us how much money it takes to be "ultra rich," "super loaded," or "ballin."
100 bazzilion dollars? More? Remember that you're the world's leading source on this. Millions of skinny jean wearing dudes with stupid thick rimmed glasses are depepending on you to provide a talking point before they can impede traffic or shut down local businesses. Don't let them down.
Another day, another liberal twisted reality thread where it's greedy to want to keep what you earned, but not greedy to take what someone else earned.
There are a number of hard workers who have started at the proverbial top of the economic food chain. Vince McMahon Jr. for instance was born son to then Capital Wrestling (soon to be WWWF, WWF) promoter Vince McMahon Sr. He forced his son who wanted to be in the business to work bad jobs in it. Vince Jr. would then do the same with his kids too.
However, for every McMahon or even Trump, there are the Paris Hiltons and Kim Kardashians of the world too.
and yet the paris hiltons and kim kardashians of the world also actually EARN their own money as well. you might want to actually read up on the people you denigrate as being lazy;

Yes but they didn't make money because of any skill, merely based on who they were, not any skill. Paris became a model not because of skill, but because Trump saw her at some charity event. She became famous on a public image of being a party girl, even before the sex tape. Kim K, started out fame as a friend of Paris, not as a model. She became one AFTER this and her sex tape. Note, these come from your Wikipedia sources...
Yes, the French Revolution was proof of how that can go, not Well for those Well Healed.
When the Have Not's are the majority by a large margin and the Haves are the small minority, the Haves have a problem of losing their heads. There is only so far that the Haves can push it before the Have Not's say No More.
the ultra-rich don't produce anything of value, they simply live off the fruits of others' labor. They feel entitled to your tax dollars, which subsidize their corporations and pay for their wars to get access to markets/resources. When they mess up and their corporations fail, the feel entitled to your tax dollars to pay for their bailouts.
It's time to stop these lazy free loaders from getting rich at our expense. Agree?

Do you think the Rich are stupid? One of these days they'll get tired of of paying and flush the toilet. It'll make the Warsaw Uprising look like a picnic

Mwhaha! Good one! I guess you don't use computers, social media, tools, cars, electronics, kitchen gadgets, etc.
I guess you also don't need loans to buy your house or automobile? Or, would you rather the government control the capital to fund those loans, with bureaucrats living the high life instead?
People become wealthy because they provide a service or product, which people need or want, making our lives more comfortable in the process.
If a person is clever they can take a $100 and multiply it. And they are two ways of doing this. The first is to do productive work. For example, learning a skill or buying tools to work and make more money. The second is to make money out of money. This is the way the economy is run nowadays. Banks loan incredible amounts of money to some people, a person with this money can buy a business, stocks, etc. and resell it for a profit. This is possible because the person buying is also buying with money from another loan, and the money making scheme continues.
Anyone can see they are not creating any value, but extracting it.
We have to recognize the real economy, and the imaginary one existing only in the mind of rich people and speculators.

I honestly was going to post something similar as a reply to what I thought was going to be a welfare bashing thread.
