Reactionary foolishness.
The wealth of society is not due to the efforts of a few notable individuals, but is the result of the work and knowledge of every generation that has come before this one. We are standing where we stand and can do what we can do because of the work and knowledge of the billions of individuals who have contributed to society in the past, not because of some quasi-mythological hero-attributes the commercial class has assigned to it's notable figures.
As such only a system that features equal access to the wealth and knowledge of society for all can be considered a truly ethical system.
