Most people who amass great wealth get it from the fruits of others' labor. Could Bill Gates have become as rich as he is without having many thousands of others working for him?

Many Microsoft employees have also gotten rich, and many others who have not have at least become reasonably comfortable financially through their Microsoft employment. They aren't Bill's slaves. They agreed to work for him, they were not forced to do so. And they agreed to work for him because they liked the opportunity better then the others that they also could have picked. Bill doesn't dominate them they could quit and most of them could find another decent job. Yes he is a lot richer then them, but I don't have a problem with that, and even if you do, I don't see how that makes Bill Gates into some abusive overlord who dominates through his money.
