> the important measurement is what percentage of that pie is captured by the rich And this is where we fundamentally disagree. I think the important measurement is how much pie the average person has. I think the important measurement is how much pie the people with the least pie have. > In a world of two people, where today I have one piece of bread and you have two, then tomorrow I have two pieces of bread and you have 10, I am worse off. If you think you're worse off in a world where you have twice as much stuff, just because your neighbor got more than you, to me, that speaks more to a psychological problem. I was lucky enough to grow up in a safe, happy, secure, abundant, middle-class environment in the 90's. Meanwhile, Bill Gates was accumulating billions of dollars, more than 10,000x what my parents made. Despite that, I was happy, I did not feel worse off than middle class kids from generations before me, and I would certainly not trade away 50% of the fortunate childhood I had just to see Bill Gates cut down to size.
