"The rich CEOs aren't stealing from the people, they're players within the system just like everyone else. They don't make the laws."

Actually, they do write the laws. They fund special interest groups and give money to politicians to get elected. Big money often writes the law - with those same special interest groups attaching themselves to Congressional staffers and then providing the actual language that goes to the floor. I don't know what world you think you're living in when you can't see how money shapes our politics and laws.
