Don't think you're getting the idea.
An economy has a numerical value of gil, lets say 3000 million. And its growing every day by lets say 1million.
Now lets say you "gil toss" 40million gil and get lucky and get a rare item.
The economy now has 2960mil gil growing at a rate of 1 million per day.
Now lets say you decide to sell the item the same day for 100 million
the economy still has 2960mil. You just "moved" the gil from one person to another in the economy. Which is fine.

The goal isn't to make rich people poor. Its to reduce the amount of gil in the economy so that when PS3 is launched the economy actually has a chance. Right now it doesn't.
