Well said. Poverty is the enemy. Not wealth. Sure, a lot of wealthy people do nasty things, but so do a lot of normal and poor people. Wealth creation is, overall, not a zero sum game. Most wealth is created by doing something useful in the world. Let people do useful things, get rich through it, and use their money for whatever they want (within the constraints of law, rights, and morality). The more problems are solved the better we are all off for it. The issue is not that some people are wealthy, it’s that not enough people are given a chance to be wealthy. But that’s not because of the already wealthy conspiring as a secret cabal to prevent access to their group. It’s a result of many errors in politics and philosophy that have accumulated over time. Those errors can be corrected a little bit at a time.
