It is such a paltry amount, especially considering the wealth of those from whom it would derive, that they should not mind it a bit. Not even a little bit.
What's the problem? It's not as if they owned the banking system, they owned the American economy, or even as if they 'earned' it. They're playing public systems, systems defended by poor people having to enter the armed forces, for which they die in the interests of mega-corporations and the ultra-wealthy.
It's not as if the systems they play are theirs. Or that they risk anything. Check the bailouts.
This adoration of the ultra-wealthy is a bit on the silly side, I think. In the US it's unseemly to kiss the ring of the very rich while exposing the holes in your soles. Not only to they laugh at you, Karl Marx is smiling a knowing smile.
