But there are planty of people who are wealthy because of the nature of the capitalist system. Options traders, baseball players, rock stars etc. Almost all of them would continue to do what they do if their salary was cut by 80% whether they liked their job or not.

If you are going to claim that sports stars and rockstars dont deserve their money, you are also claiming that people dont deserve to have any form of entertainment in their life. The money that these stars make is proportional to amount of enjoyment people get out of them, otherwise they wouldnt be willing to pay for it.

Entertainers increase the enjoyment people get out of life, who is David Sklansky or anyone to decide what people can spend their money on to increase their happiness? Its like saying people should only be able to eat a bare sustinance of rice and beans because thats all their bodies need and they dont deserve anything else.
