I think a lot of liberals have an idea of “zero sum game” in the back of their minds. Money and goods that rich people have, must be money and goods that poor people can’t have. Except that most rich people DO invest in poor people, leaving the poor better off than if they had to be itinerant tinkers. There is even some trickle down from Moore, though he is more miserly than most other rich people are.

You are right. I remember this philosophy being taught over and over again in school. The only class that didn’t teach this was when I took a business class. I was very surprised at the things they told me in that class that I had never heard in all my other classes at school.
