The ecological Cost of human Inequality

I'm not sure the latter is always true. One can be entrepreneurially successful in a lot of ways, not all of which involve providing genuine value. There's even been a lot of debate about that here lately (Mahalo is very profitable; is it providing any value to anyone but its owners?). One can also do a lot of great stuff, and also get rich doing it. Or, one could produce tons of value for other people, and not get rich doing it, like the collective editors of Wikipedia, volunteer contributors to thousands of open-source projects, and many scientists who publish their work freely have. I'm not sure how well the two ideas correlate overall, really.

I'd hazard a guess that they correlate reasonably well up to some point (most people making $150k have probably produced better stuff than most people making $50k, with exceptions on both sides), but get wildly erratic past some cutoff, where it becomes more an issue of connections with other businessmen and government, and the feedback loop of "you need money to make money". Is Carlos Slim the world's most valuable human, for example? Is Bill Gates the 2nd-most-valuable?

However, what about stories that target what you, the not yet entrepreneur, hope to become?

If you look closely, most of the efforts against the "rich" are actually against those trying to become "rich", not the already very wealthy who have the politician power and otherwise many options (e.g. negotiate a tax treaty with a canton and move to Switzerland) to avoid such exactions. Throughout many decades of various economic conditions, tax policies, etc. how much was the wealth of the Kennedy family threatened?

E.g. look at taxes on earnings vs. principle. In the US we do have a big tax on the latter from the estate ("death") tax, although again the wealthy have options to mitigate that.

Speaking of select perception!

You will be hard pressed to find anything communist in that article.

That isn't to say that it's not unbalanced, but communism is hardly reason for that article.
