Here's how to explain to people the distinction between fighting poverty and fighting economic inequality.
-
-
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.
-
It is also logically "true" that I could remove someone's arms in order to reduce BMI. Logically correct but you see where this is going..?

If you want less of something then tax it. if you want more then subsidize it. If you subsidize poverty... you get more!

And you'd probably be warping supply-side delivery of care, wrecking care for rest of us. Do it with technology though, and I'd agree.
