Unless they are getting rich from fraud or theft or from government advantages that enable them to rent seek they are getting rich to the benefit for the non-rich, and in many cases to the benefit of the poor.

So one of their own, FDR, came into power and he made sure a little more of the wealth got down to the lower classes.

Yeah FDR's policies really helped the poor. Prosecute people for discounting (after all poor people don't benefit from low prices right?) burn agricultural products (after all poor people don't have to eat), impose more regulations, taxes, and restrictions on entities that create jobs (the poor don't need jobs right?)
