You may want to consider re-reading this article as you seem to be misinterpreting it. The author:

a) is a wealth manager b) is not advocating a populist eat-the-rich" revolution c) doesn't use the keywords "1%", "rich", or "banker" as you imply (I fail to see why you want to bring Judaism into this?) d) does not imply "if you're rich you're a parasite and should be stripped of your property's wealth"

Here, for your convenience, is the author's thesis:

"A bloated and out-of-control financial sector does not add any value to society. Society benefits when the financial sector is kept as small as possible."

The author is ranting on the size of financial institutions, not the rich. Hope this clarifies things for you.
