It's not that some people are more brilliant or that some countries have more natural resources. Hollywood is certainly not noted for brilliant scientists nor is Russia wealthy despite its huge natural resources. The answer lies in letting people control the fruits of their labor  that's known as free enterprise.

The wealthy actually contribute wealth to the poor by providing employment, allocating money for research and development and providing a pool of money that can be lent to the aspiring entrepreneur.

The wealthy should not be despised. If you have more money than me, it does not mean that I have less. If I want more, it's my prerogative and duty to create more.
