And yet it works just fine for non failures who don’t make excuses or blame everyone else for their problems. There’s a reason it’s called the land of opportunity, not guarantees.
The rich do not get rich by taking from the poor, that makes no fucking sense whatsoever. Those rich people you hate so much are responsible for employing hundreds of thousands of people, which is also why they get tax breaks,in addition to providing goods and services to millions of people.
That’s literally what commerce is you kumquat, one person exchanging money for goods. And unless you think 100% of all commerce is done by billionaires, then it literally means the rich does get rich by taking from the poor.
And considering how 1% of the top Americans owns some 60% of the wealth, yes. There’s a whole lotta rich taking from the poor.
And don’t try to dodge the point by saying “The poor shouldn’t buy from them/stuff they don’t need then!” We both know the point being made here as well as the fact that in the terms of food or stuff, the poor literally has no choice.
Do you really think poor people are worse of now then they were, say, 10,15 years ago? Before Amazon, before Uber, before smartphones?
The wealthy already pay taxes, taxing them more isn’t going to do a god damn thing except maybe take their business elsewhere which would be worse for everyone.
GOOD!
Like holy shit I am 1 billion percent serious here. Let those fucking parasites leave the country wholesale and just try and set up shot somewhere else. I will laugh myself into hysterics as they find out that America is the most corporation friendly nation on Earth, and upon going to most any other 1st world nation responding with “Wait, you want us to pay taxes too?” Or even better they can set up in a place like China. I’ll have the news report on all day loop when they try to loophole to avoid taxes in an outright authoritarian country.
Even better if they actually come back! All their factories or offices or whatever will most likely have been filled, leaving them with either the option to buy it out again (thus distributed the wealth) or they’ll have to find out what living middle or lower class is like in America.
