Saying "it's not about envy" doesn't actually demonstrate that it isn't. There certainly isn't anything besides envy hiding behind the notion of a "fair share"

Just own it. There is nothing wrong with being envious despite attempts to shame people for it.
And bear in mind that no problems are ever solved if you refuse to acknowledge what they really are.
- maxxxxx 11y agoEnvy has a very negative connotation. You use the phrase "fair share of someone else's property". I am not talking about getting a share from someone else's property. I am talking about the elite deciding they should get a larger share of the gains the economy produces. When people in a company complain that their CEO makes more and more money while their salaries are cut it's not envy but it's a basic question of fairness. Nobody wants to take away from the CEO. They just want to have a fair share of the earnings of the company.
