Do you believe in the simplistic notion that people who have wealth are entitled to keep it?

No; they are entitled to the benefit of it, but they also have a responsibility to their community. If there were such a thing as enlightened self-interest, it wouldn't matter, but we only have greed, so we need taxes.
