Why do you think the rich does not deserve their money and once you become richer than the average person it has to be taken from you by the rest? Why is it ok to count the wealth of your neighbor? Envy?
LOL Envy? I think he/she is speaking of reason, life is about each other instead another , sometimes you forget someone is there when you have too much money, he/ is just pointing out some are not built like the capitalist of the world, show some understanding by giving alums directly to the needy(free college/ healthcare/cheap housing/clean water/safe community/clean food)...
good for them. They are much more valuable in many more ways than net worth than over half of the world's population too. Such an idiotic statement.
Why not just have the govt to print more money? Why allow individuals to earn wealth with one hand and take it away with another? The role of the govt is to encourage charitable donations not take money by law, i.e. applying its police power. What's the point of making money then?
Value creation is the work/proof of work, why devalue the value that people created through hard work? An investment in value of well being of others improves the human condition without destroying value...
I don't mind govt assistance programs if govt can do it with its own profits. Like from the postal services fees which the govt charges people regardless of their financial situation. Or through its own investments. One has to make money before spending it. I don't think it's a good idea that one is spending money that they didn't earn.
it’s funny to hear about socialism blah blah blah when it pertains to the bottom half but not when we socialize losses and capitalize the gains for big corporations who are often bailed out to the tune of 10s of thousands more than any welfare check. The rich are their with hands out when the time comes no? Not to mention tax loopholes, destructive predatory economic impacts like oil spills etc, pushing shit loans that cost us the tax payer millions while they get a slap on the wrist. No you only focus on the less fortunate and out them all in the same basket, lazy blah blah blah drug addicts blah blah blah . I’m not taking sides either I’m just saying
Well, bailing out once in a lifetime the economy itself is different from bailing out people day after day. As for tax loopholes, it's their money after all taken away from them with or without 'loopholes'. They are on the receiving end of govt taxes either way. So what tax 'loopholes' do you have in mind and why do you believe it's wrong?
Well, having seen Gates in action re: public health AND having been sexually abused by Windows until I went Apple, I'd say he contributes a LOT of negative value.
HA! when the Dems talk about wealth redistribution, this is exactly what their coded speech means. Letting the poor starve, and siphoning middle class wealth to the .001%.
