If you're fighting poverty, you might say "Let's have universal health care."

If you're fighting economic inequality, you have to say "Let's have universal health care. And Larry, please don't start Google."
-
Otherwise Larry's going to mess up your numbers big time.

Straw man? No part of the political spectrum has felt the need to say that. Reducing inequality is not equivalent to strict equality.
-
People who say economic inequality is bad and should be decreased don't realize they're saying this, but they are. Which is my point.

What does "this" refer to? People don't realise they're tacitly suggesting stopping founders as a method, or they're arguing for equality?
-
The former.
-
While it is logically "true" that stopping (some) founders would reduce inequality, in no way does that mean people are advocating for it.
