    My comment is about philosophy, not policy.

    The idea that rich people are rich because poor people are poor is a leftist idea. It assumes wealth is a finite thing, which must be taken away from one party to accumulate with another.

      Wealth is finite. By definition. There is a scarcity of resources in the world. A few people have most of it. You’ve been on earth before right?
