Do they want to be in favor of the strong? Are they fools?
Yes and yes. Rich and poor are no different, except one side has money. The poor want money too because it helps their immediate wellbeing, so they do what the rich do - making the rich wealthier. The distribution mechanism is broken, so it will never balance to an equilibrium where the majority have a high level of wellbeing, even if it averages to it monetarily.
