Inside a society. The rich having large wealth is not by itself a sign of leeching. The guardians of wealth hold large wealth, but it is not theirs alone: their wealth taps into the society. The question is whether the wealth was taken fairly, and whether it is circulated back. In RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE WEALTH, those who hold the third assigned part are "the guardians of wealth", and "more wealth means a bigger obligation"; in GUIDANCE AND ITS GUARDIANS, wealth is "a matter of regulation", and those who regulate it "are not the real owners". The rule of RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE WEALTH makes the return a duty:
From Pads drained between societies.
“An individual must consider wealth as a compressed form of the net work done by other individuals, which must be returned to the society one way or the other to maintain a balance in the society.”
From Responsibilities for the Wealth.
