I’m BARELY paraphrasing you. My exaggerations of your statements are so slight they’re nearly direct quotes.

You're not exaggerating, you're straight up fabricating. By equivocating "reducing the wealth of the wealthiest people …will not move the needle toward [eradicating poverty]" and "Redistributing their wealth will make us worse off!", you've done the equivalent of taking me saying

"Eating oranges will not cure a cold"

and turning it into an accusation that I said

"Eating oranges while you have a cold will make it worse"

Absurd. Either your reading comprehension and/or understanding of fundamental logic are seriously lacking, or you're just a disingenuous jerk. Which is it? There are no other possible explanations for an error this basic.
