Yes like the 8 county employees I saw working on the road. 2 f@@kers doing all the work while the other 6 cracking jokes.
Scenario: My grandpa was a smart and hardworking man. Established a business, from scratch, and became a millionaire. My dad took over his business and tuned it into a mammoth. Lot's of sweat, time, energy and effort were put into during the process. Then suddenly a lucky guy was born into this family, me. Not sure if it's my past karma or pure luck that landed me into this family. One day, some leftist comes and say that he wanted a share in my grandpa's and papa's wealth which they had willingly given to me, after paying taxes of course. My question is, why is this guy/girl wants my grandpa's money when he has already given to me. It's my grandpa's wish to give the money to whoever he wants, am I right? He could give everything to the charity. His money, his choice.
Congrats, no one should take that away from you. That’s yours and only yours to do what you want. But you are the perfect example for the above discussion. You are wealthy without hard work. Thanks for sharing ur example.
My grandpa and my dad did, and they decided to give it to me. Are you envious? So now you want to rob their money?
Did you read my post? It says the contrary, you should keep and no one should take it away. That doesn’t negate the fact that you are rich without earning/working for it. That’s all. I’m happy for you. I don’t have an envious bone in my body. I want everyone to be happy.
Those complaining about income inequality should try living in a communist country. You would have equality in misery! All the turnips whining and crying would all still be poor and miserable! And here is the bonus for the lazy slugs. If you piss off the top politburo officials, they might send you to hard labor at communist re-education camps or just shoot you in the head on the spot to put you out of your misery like Kim Jong Un! All the top politburo officials would be filthy rich and own everything! Monopoly anyone? Atleast, in a capitalist society, you have the means to lift yourself from the bottom. Maybe, you will not be filthy rich like Warren Buffet but, with your efforts, you can increase your income by leaps and bounds and limited only by your efforts or lack thereof!
I think that latest figure which I have seen last year were showing that 1% of world population are millionaires. Now this figure is 0.9%. Are we facing sort of consolidation among millionaires or I have some wrong conclusions?
At the rate the poor are reproducing, they are only adding to the huge population explosion making the disparity even larger. Even if the number of millionaires stay the same, their percentage over all the world's people would go down because more babies being borne by poor people. So, blame people who worked hard for what they have and excuse, those lazy slugs who are just waiting for free handouts and how to take what is in other people's hands that they worked hard for? Communism never made the poor richer, they will still be poor and miserable because the top communist officials own everything. Look at China, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba. Do you see any poor top communist official? Kim Jong Un's wife sports designer clothes, bags and shoes so, doesn't that tell you something? What about the Castros of Cuba or Maduro in Venezuela?
but tell me how you really feel about immigrants doing the same job for less? goes on about effort inequality, is born rich without lifting a finger.
