You seem to be asking if Buffett is a really nice guy. In some ways, maybe not. My only point was that even if confiscate his money and pass it out among the poor people, the poor people will still be poor and not in the middle class -- even Buffett and the rest of the Forbes 400 don't have money enough to bring all the poor people into the middle class just by confiscation and redistribution. That's not the only possible point to make about inequality, but by itself it is correct.
