  1. Awesome. You say that you don't understand where this otherwise smart individual is coming from so you want more information. Thank you! That is always the correct answer to things that don't make sense because it often means context is missing. I wish everyone thought like you do

  2. adfa - 1. Ethics in the west can change quickly. Gay marriage, anyone? 2. Agreed. I'm blown away that the "where's it coming from?" is almost never asked. You think that would be the #1 question. 3. I wrestle with this one, but I don't think it's true overall. Lazy people will be lazy, but most people give a shit about something and want to do things and see things and are curious. 4. Following your point actually defeats it. Yeah wealth inequality has always existed. Now name me ONE instance where it's gone on indefinitely, unchallenged? There are no kings on a throne anymore for a reason. 5. He didn't say communism. One, redistribution already exists in every single place on earth varying degrees, that's what taxes are, and two, extreme wealth inequality leads to the outcome in point 4. He said "trillionaires" running around. Yeah, if the people are suffering and others have ungodly sums of money it will eventually end poorly. If you asked Sam, I'm sure he's okay with rich people. He just thinks that extreme income inequality on a national level is unsustainable, and history backs him up. So calm down.
