Surely this is sarcasm or something else? How would transferring wealth from one part of the 1% to another part of the 1% benefit anyone else than the "Silicon Valley elite" you so proudly proclaim to belong to?
If you actually wanna re-balance the wealth of the world, you should steal from the rich and give to the poor, not steal from the rich and give to the other rich.
