^"Most modern liberals believe that wealth is essentially limited. They see the millionaire...as a villain because, if wealth is more or less fixed, if there's a giant but limited pot of money out there somewhere, then the fact that he has more means that someone else has less. His wealth has to be the result of stealing from the poor."^
This seems to be the extent of it. Is this an insult? It is the fundamental economic belief of almost every liberal and "progessive" I have ever met.
You know, every economic policy of the Democratic Party is based on that worldview. Every. single. one. Wealth redistribution is the heart of their ideas on taxes, health care, industrial policy, you name it. Their political rhetoric reeks of it everywhere you look. I could collect a whole page of just Obama quotes supporting it.
This is no more an "insult" than calling a blue whale "large."
