> the fact that the rich have almost all the money

Obviously not true. The government has almost all the money. When it needs more, it just prints off a few trillion as necessary.

As for the rich, they by and large created the wealth they have. When you invest money in an enterprise that is productive, you're creating wealth.

Both your takes on the rich can be true at the same time. This is still the same stuff Marx, et al. talked about.
