You cite Ben & Jerry and George Soros as "good" millionaires based on their left-wing leanings and what they do with the millions they've amassed. The original poster seems to think that you should be judged on what you do for a living. So, Ben and Jerry aren't worth their millions because all they did was sell ice cream, which we can all make at home if we like. They didn't cure cancer, they didn't solve world hunger. How can they be worth millions?

Same with Soros, only worse. He made his billions betting on the currency markets. That's not a sum-zero game: his winnings amounted to some other investor's losses.
