Agreed. PG is in the business of helping people move up the wealth ladder, which is laudable and pretty much the opposite of preventing other people from moving up the income ladder, which is what rent seekers, wage thieves and tax dodgers do. Putting himself under the same umbrella as the oligarch class seems disingenuous and non-productive.
Graham is in the business of helping his investors move up the wealth ladder. And without putting too fine a point on it, helping his investors make more money in no way implies societal benefit.
