>About 80% of his essay about economic inequality is a thinly veiled condemnation of poors who Paul Graham thinks are too stupid to understand why the rich are wealthy. They are stupid, he says, because they demand wealth redistribution as a means of addressing poverty rather than attacking poverty itself.
Wrong. It's a condemnation of rich people, like top 10% rich who are stupid because they demand wealth redistribution as a means of addressing poverty, because it makes them feel better about themselves without having to do anything about it. Just tax the folks richer than me, and the problem will presto chango disappear.
