I downvoted it because I think that forcibly taking away people's wealth (however much or little they have) is immoral in the extreme. However, I did just now vouch for it because the post isn't breaking any rules even if I do think it's a bad take.

Let’s not discount with what means that wealth has been acquired in the first place. One man’s wealth might be poverty for the thousands. That’s why we got social welfare, it’s just not doing enough. At this point I would say a random store floor cleaner is more valuable for society than someone like Jeff Bezos.
