Wealth is produced, not distributed. You earn stuff you created, not stolen from someone else

if you want such a simplistic view, then no, you don't really produce wealth, you accumulate it. we create value and that is what we accumulate in the form of wealth. money is used to abstract that value into a commonly exchangeable medium, which is the form in which wealth is generally accumulated. it's a pretty neat system at its core.

the concept of stealing is entirely beside the point.

Spot on, this article precisely never talks about value creation.

   we create value and that is what we accumulate in the form of wealth
So if you go to a concert, you accumulate that experience into your wealth, and you think this value should rather be redistributed ?
