No fr0d0, she is making perfect sense. Communists / Socialists always say they want to "spread the wealth", yet this puts everyone at an equal level of income even though some are doing more work than others. Such a system can be easily shown as unfair.
In Capitalism, there are very wealthy people, but how is this a bad thing? To continue being wealthy, they must keep generating money. The only way to generate money is to produce their product. The only way to produce their product is to hire workers. If you don't pay your workers enough, they quit and find work at one of your competitors.
The idea of the free market allows *anyone* with an idea to become a billionaire. Combine this with venture capitalism and you can sell a portion of your product / company to a wealthy person, in return for a large sum of money to help develop it. They get shares, you get a business of your own, and if you succeed, both of you become richer. You can then sell your company, use the funds to start a new one all on your own, and perhaps become a venture capitalist yourself.
Capitalism simply doesn't work if the rich don't help others out by paying wages or investing in ideas.
