    Poor people make money? They spend the money, meaning someone else has now made money. Is that person poor? They also spend the money. This continues until the money reaches a person rich enough to hold onto it.

        Non-rich people figuring out a way to get some money out of rich people for a change doesn't even fundamentally change the nature of the economy, nor does it reverse the position of the haves and have-nots. It just stimulates the economy a bit.

        It's more like a planet. The water goes from ocean to cloud to rain to river to ocean, over and over until people put it in little plastic bottles and commodify it. Poor people pay the landlord, who pays the town, which pays the crossing guard, who pays the bodega, which pays...
