Is it Paul Graham's job to fix those problems that cause inequality?

I don't think it is.

I do think that it's great that people like Bill Gates invest their billions into improving the healthcare system globally, and the Zuckerbergs have invested large amounts into improving education.

It is not Paul Graham’s job to fix any particular set of problems. However, given that he hasn’t to my knowledge ever engaged with such problems at all, and he has apparently himself led a charmed life in a bubble insulated from the day-to-day concerns of regular people he keeps dismissively handwaving away, I don’t see why he has any basis on which to pontificate about the state of the society in general, or tell everyone else how they should think.
