Here's how to explain to people the distinction between fighting poverty and fighting economic inequality.
-
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.

Isn't the solution to poverty, simply a tiny bit less inequality? Why shouldn't people focus on solutions?

Not necessarily, you can theoretically reduce poverty and increase inequality. They're not totally "dependent" on each other.

No they aren't. They're saying that Larry can be fab wealthy, but maybe less than he is, so others don't have to struggle between paychecks.

if you read it that way, you wilfully misread the speaker's intent - which you're welcome to do, but it's solipsism. i prefer comprehension.

So when right wingers say taxes are too high, they all, universally, want to go to zero taxes. Got it.

Most of the top 0.1% didn't start Google, but instead inherited it. Like aristocracy. Larry can have it!

God you're so wrong it's like you haven't even listened to a podcast on this topic. You can't do a modicum of research like even a Wikipedia
