People on the bottom do not have investment capital - I mean, around 97% of my spending is just on not dying, but I only make about $19k a year.


Right , they don't or can't use funds for wealth creation.

If you want them to do so , you'll need a better plan than just take away the wealth from others so there isn't as big of a disparity.

Just because it's legal by democratic vote ; doesn't mean it's moral, fair , or just.
