“It’s not the equality or inequality; it’s the possibility of earning a high rate of return… In a world with genuine opportunities you’ll create billionaires. In a world without it, the people at the bottom will remain where they were, there will be nobody at the top to subsidize them, so everybody will be worse off.”

From his recent NPR interview.
