When the political left vilifies " the rich" why don't they make exceptions for "the rich" people who behave according to their standards?

A consistent tool of the left is to foment class envy by vilifying “the rich”.

But some rich people, like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, give lots of money to charity. They are clearly acting in a fashion that the political left finds laudable.

But when leftist politicians sneer at “the rich” they never say “Except for Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. They are acting properly and so they are exempt from our criticism”

Why not?
