S/he was making a stupid point, with a story that has no connection to reality.
Anyone who compares feeding the starving with distributing points in college is an idiot, anyone who compares progressive taxes with a fully equal distribution of wealth is an even bigger idiot, and anyone who even thinks about seriously telling a story in which the main point implies that wealth is always earned is almost certainly mentally handicapped.

That's bullshit, plain and simple. Progressive taxes and social security do not equal full-scale wealth redistribution.
