Well, the total amount grows over time, but slowly. If this is addressing wealth disparity, that is indeed a zero-sum game at any moment in time. The more that billionaires have, the less the rest of us do.
I haven’t really heard much angst about people with a million or three, though. The outrage tends to be directed at those with outsized wealth, and the outsized control that goes with it.

Ahhh well then I see where your understanding fails here:

You cant begin to really approach what is being said here until you first understand what wealth is, and it is NOT the money supply.
