> I don't agree with that. I definitely think the super rich should have a huge portion of their wealth redistributed, but giving it directly to people is a bad

  I don't think the .01% have contributed even .01% of the work, so they definitely don't deserve 99.99% of the gains. Being super rich and using that advantage to usurp all the productivity gains of the whole world doesn't make them working people. The working people are the ones that actual do the work, not the ones that control the capital. Things like Jeff Bezos getting a $500 million yacht make me sick. What kind of resources does that take? How many lifetimes of work go into it? How many schools could you build instead? Hospitals? Houses? How about spending $500 million dollars building water filtration systems for developing countries? No one should be allowed to squander resources and labor like that until every person on the planet has food to eat, clean water to drink, and a safe place to sleep.
