so what you are saying is you are in favor of trickle-down economics? - where people who make $300K+ a year, buy government subsidized Tesla's, and somehow, somewhere, the poor single mother who now has decide between filling her car to get to work, and buying food - will somehow benefit from wealthy tech-bros driving $100K cars. |

I agree that current inequality is excessive, but the argument I made applies if there is any inequality at all. There has never been a human society with absolutely zero inequality. If there is any inequality at all there is always some "trickle down" effect in the form of aftermarkets, priming of industrial production leading to future lower prices, etc.
It's possible to simultaneously acknowledge certain "trickle down" effects and believe they can be beneficial while also being in favor of reducing inequality.
