Hah, what an opener. There are multiple other alternatives, it's not either a select few have all the money or the government has all the money. Yet you will see people gladly accept the frame of the argument set forth by both Zuckerberg and CNBC.
Having said that ... there is something to be said about how hyper-wealthy oligarchies emerge in basically any type of government you can imagine. The question becomes one of how to properly order them for the good of society so that they don't end up blowing up the entire structure - and everyone else with it - that made them in the first place.
