@paulg Simplified version's still a weird defense of startups against someone, somewhere, who wants to eliminate them. No one argues that.
@ElizDwyer Few *consciously* do. But anyone against great variations in wealth is implicitly against startups.

@paulg Startups are just one thing that can cause an individual/family to hold huge wealth; could say lottery tix too. Inheritance biggest. -
@paulg What people against inequality are against are exploitative wages, disproportionate political influence. Ex. Wal-Mart, Uber. - Show replies
