This is just re-labeled Marxism, so the usual counter-arguments apply.
(1) Bad data: Most wealth is self-made, not inherited.
(2) Misguided goals: Uneven net wealth gain is better than equal increase of poverty
(3) Magical thinking: Wealth is created by effective systems, it does not appear out of thin air to be distributed
(4) Lack of observation: Government is remarkably poor at wealth management
(5) False sentimentality: A system intent on rewarding the ineffective will have great difficulty being effective itself
(6) Fetishizing hopelessness: Anyone determined already has the opportunity to create scalable wealth-creating systems in a suitable vocation
