The things that are _good_ for the poor and downtrodden tend to be _even better_ for the powerful and well-connected, so it's not really possible to help the former without helping the latter even more.Most people would probably just prefer to keep everyone down, rather than have to suffer the rich getting richer. This is, after all, the appeal of socialism. But it is also untenable, to stretch this financial inequality out further and further. At some point, the societal bands break and the economy collapses.Hard money doesn't end this effect. It might actually compound it, as only the rich can then get credit to make investments, and you need a certain amount of wealth to purchase things that allow you to be more financially efficient.Even Bitcoin is like this. Some people reject it because buying it invariably makes the larger hodlers richer. You gain purchasing power, but the people who have more Bitcoin take a cut off your gains, in addition to receiving the same gain.The poor will always be with you.

This is the problem of inequality. And the problem of inequality is thinking it is a problem to begin with. It is an aspect of nature, we deal with it. We move on.That's the beauty of life: that some are more beautiful than others, some are smarter than others, some are stronger, some are faster afoot and some are richer.Inequality is not evil. Inequality is natural, all too natural. And every tendency to suppress inequality is a tendency to suppress nature.Socialism as such is then a revolt against nature itself, making socialists the enemies of nature.

This is why wealth, strength, intelligence, beauty... They are worthless, unless we use our talents for good. It was all given to us, to help us carry out our duties to our families and our neighbors.We are not noble, if we are not also charitable. We are merely rich.

Yes! The only solution to inequality is charity.

And the problem of inequality is thinking it is a problem to begin with. It is an aspect of nature, we deal with it. We move on.Lots of 'aspects of nature' are dealt with by fixing the underlying problem.we wear shoes because nature doesn't provide us with a soft floor everywherewe build houses because nature's provided caves aren't every comfortable and don't do a good job of keeping us warmwe wear clothing because nature's provided atmosphere causes frostburnwe use tools like levels, squares, and measuring tapes because nature didn't come with straight lines pre-identified, square cuts made for us and distances documented.we build grain silos rather than just let nature set our ability to harvest by what's availablewe 'deal with' things by reducing what we find to be detestable and making things more fair when we find them to be unfair> And every tendency to suppress inequality is a tendency to suppress nature.> Socialism as such is then a revolt against nature itself, making socialists the enemies of nature.Good. Nature will wipe us off the face of the earth if we don't actively take steps to stop that. But you seem to think we should just 'deal with' it and retvrn to monke living in trees or something.

Well, it's the only solution that doesn't end in mass starvation, at any rate.
