That would be a great retort except for the fact that there are people who care about inequality but aren't willing to take money from a system which is the very driver of inequality they preach against. Human beings are great at justification, no matter who they are.
Do as I say but not as I do? That seems to be a problem with politics as a whole. It'd be better if we didn't defend it.

I guess it's possible. Wikipedia doesn't have any information on on her work between getting her Comp Sci B.Sc in 1994 and her economics PhD sometime around ~2003.
She didn't move to Seattle until 2006, unless that's missing from her 1994-2003 bio; after she had left the CS field. Maybe not Microsoft then, but still tech money.
