If rich people get rich at the expense of the poor, then if rich people stop doing anything, this factor would stop and the poor would get richer. But in fact if rich people did nothing, the poor would get poorer. An individual rich person might possibly get rich at the expense of the non-rich, but as a class they get rich by benefiting the non-rich. Tim, its not just a black or white problem. There is a gray feature to it: the rich stop pigging out at the trough, allowing the poor to get a bigger share of the pie.
