Volatile, high-profit incomes more closely matches a market based on nature or real progress. It makes sense that high-earners who do real work are doing work that is risky. What is concerning is the 'old rich' who've managed to make obscene profits by market manipulation such as regulatory capture, or removing risk from their operations and moving it to the employees.
The irony is that the 'old rich' are required to create the more real-market-representative positions artificially, and as a result a large percentage of the new rich's work goes to keep the old rich in their current positions.
i.e. the old rich (who were once the new rich) are keeping the new rich from being the new old rich. Often this is done by keeping the new rich from using strategies and tools outside the power of the old rich, thus impeding real progress. Real progress would be outside of the control of the old rich, who, let's face it, are just too old and stupid to make good returns on new things. The general populous does this best, and if the general populous is out-innovating the oligarch, then that would be socialism and socialism is scary because informed markets don't buy sugar water and red labels.
