Except that's not what I'm doing at all.

I was trying to say that the inequality and "hatred" towards inequality and wealth(both claims unsubstantiated, with emotionally charged language)he is attributing to "socialists"(used as almost a slur in his text, also, wrong, social democracies are the wealthiest systems around) is in his head. You are the one misrepresenting my argument.

And just because we have it "better", doesn't mean everyone has at least a reasonable standard of living. Einstein should be earning a lot more, but a village idiot also deserves to not live in dire poverty.
