Let's be serious. This is just one logical fallacy after another.

One doesn't have to be communist to think that there needs to be some control levers on wealth inequality. Even if communism were required, communism does not necessarily lead to reeducation camps and starvation. Layered and purposefully obscured ownership structures make it nearly impossible to 'stop giving money' to the ultra wealthy. Even if everyone stopped giving money to the ultra wealthy, they're not going to stop being ultra wealthy unless they're especially stupid with their current holdings. Further, how does one stop giving money to those who partially or fully own monopolies on necessities?



The sum of free choices is a free choice.

If you're freely giving your money to Jeff, then it's not Jeff's fault you're upset about it.
