It doesn’t bother you sometimes that some people starve while others hoard wealth that rivals the gdp of entire countries? People going hungry, especially children, is a travesty. What is your solution to it? We already have food stamps,

There are quite literally billions of people that are richer, smarter, better looking and/or more physically able than I am. I'm glad for it. I would never want to bring anyone else down to meet me at my level on any metric.

Why are people so focused on this straw man? A strawman is an intentional misrepresentation of a proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat than an opponent's real argument. So where's the strawman? People do get
