...poor people are poor because he is rich.

Wrong. This is not a zero sum game we're playing. Wealth is being created. The economic pie keeps getting bigger.

To *some* extent that's true (none / 0)
but only to an extent. At some point it's entirely possible for a select few to hoarde the pie.

This is amazingly described in irrefutable terms by the fact that the bottom 90% of Americans have not really benefitted much at all from the large economic growth from 1980 to 2005.
