i think he was generally saying "you're" as in "a gay person", not YOU.

Does a poor farmer, who works his ass off from 5 am to 6 pm, not work as hard as some CEO?

Look, I'm not promoting that we make the rich poor so that everyone is middle class. But I do think the rich, especially the very rich, can pay a little more in taxes for the good of all. The poor might get to live slightly better off lives, and the rich will continue to be rich, although perhaps not as disgustingly so.
