That's an ethical question, not a legal one. Ethically and legally I would say if those with the power and the money would refrain from EXPLOITING those without power and money everyone (including the rich guys) would be better off. Legally, the U.S. Government is responsible for upholding the terms of the Constitution, so if there isn't a Constitutional basis for moving money from one pocket to another, it can't (or at least shouldn't) be made into a legal requirement. Our forefathers said we have the right to revolt if the government infringes on "inalienable rights" according to the Declaration of Independence. Those rights are further itemized in the Constitution of the United States and the first ten amendments called the Bill of Rights. (Read the first few paragraphs of the Declaration of Independence, it's right there.)
