"No one deserves wealth, because wealth means someone else's kid goes hungry." Not necessarily.

A study by (AFAIR) an Australian economics prof. into why capitalism finds favour in some countries and communism in others, found that essentially, capitalist countries were the ones rich in resources. Everyone benefitted when the resources were developed, and the developers got rich. OTOH communism was more at home where resources were scarce and the only way to get rich was at others' expense.
