Well it's been explained to you twice but it doesn't seem to have sunk in.
The problem with our trickle-up economic system is that maintaining personal wealth *requires* a significantly larger number of people held in relative poverty. It's essentially what money is for.
The concept of the politics of envy is a red herring. Right wingers often fall back on the false idea of meritocracy and personal choice for reasons which appear obvious. Let me know if it's not obvious to you and I'll patronise you some more.
I actually believe in some right wing (or liberal) economics too, such as infinite growth. Our infinite sky grants access to that, but also necessarily wrecks the current economic system because there is essentially infinite wealth out there. "16 Psyche," for example, contains enough gold, nickel and iron to make us all multi-billionaires.$10,000 quadrillion worth, it says here. Shouldn't that be 10 quintillion? It's a big fucking number, anyway.
