You are replying to every single comment - you seem really upset about this. I never said anything was stolen from me. I said wealth inequality is the result of rich people holding money, because by definition there can be no wealth inequality without rich people. It's an objective statement and you're projecting so much political vitriol onto it.

I'm not upset at all. My question to you was a fair one.

You did say "less" money for the poor. That implies the wealth is being transferred from them.

> by definition there can be no wealth inequality without rich people

That doesn't all mean they are "holding" money. Money is not the same thing as wealth. Personally, I don't have any money other than pocket change.

> you're projecting so much political vitriol onto it.

Am I? I thought my statements were objective facts, and not at all political.

I'm using money and wealth interchangeably here because there is no meaningful distinction in this context. I cannot take you seriously when you keep bringing up irrelevant things. It's obvious you don't understand my point. And I've had enough arguments with you on this site over the years to know it's a waste of my time to engage with you more than I already have.

The dictionary defines "hoard" as: "a stock or store of money or valued objects, typically one that is secret or carefully guarded."

An investment in a company is not a "hoard".

You're free to make up your own definitions of words, but it doesn't work to expect others to adhere to them.

> it's a waste of my time to engage with you

I'm definitely the wrong person if you want to only engage with people who agree with you.
