So a guy who made 100 million selling his business is lecturing me on Income Inequality?

4. Money allows for a big voice and a large audience

Its how a person uses that that matters most. Too many of the wealthy care only about more wealth, and probably most of them wouldn't lift a finger to make a difference, unless it pencilled out well as a tax deduction or something. Most just take their money and run, off into little lives of petty ease.

Beating down one guy with money who is trying to make a difference and promoting our goals is stupid.



on edit - money is why he could get the best education and run for office, and find time to write books and think about things. And its why he can fill halls and have people listen when he speaks. At this point, its the message that matters.

Without money, he might just be another guy on an internet forum griping about inequality, with no one in particular listening.
