Well, I think that's because the premise of how they first acquired the money is that it was "completely random".
So ya, if Bill Gates randomly started pulling names out of a hat and handing out money, I think people would tend to feel less bad about that money being redistributed than something that was actually earned.
- LyndsySimon 9y agoIn that circumstance, the money was earned - by Bill Gates. Why should stealing it from him make someone feel less bad than stealing it from someone else?
- jakelazaroff 9y agoGP is saying the reverse: that people shouldn't feel bad if the money that Bill Gates hands out randomly is redistributed again, since none of the people he gave it to initially had earned it.
