C'mon, everyone here is an engineer. See the entire system!
The people at the top do no magically get money. They get money because people on the middle is allowed to steal/exploit a little for themselves. it's a factorial sum, where further from the top you approach to zero.
By accepting that someone can get billions, and knowing that it is impossible to get billions by one's own accord, you also accept that this chain of stealing/exploitation (oligarchy) is also allowed. And here, the alienated worker will glady receive the wip to the back because "tomorrow he can be the one making a billion"
