You people are goofy.0 doubt its being done on purpose. All the events like this is on purpose-The already filthy rich are getting much richer off these events--They are the lowest form of life on earth. The rich are the problem.
Without the rich, you would be starving to death.
And what you thing, that event, has to do with "rich people".... goofy. Just goofy. Do you watch infowars by any chance? Just curious.
Men don't need to be worth billions of dollars while many go without. live on the streets. God created one human family. We are all brothers and sisters. It seems to be govts and false religions that are causing division. Standing in opposition to Gods will, as are the rich.
If there were no 'filthy rich'.... there wouldn't be any food.
If you doubt that, Soviet Union comes to mind. But if you hate history, just look at Venezuela. They drove out the rich, and now people are starving.
Being rich, is not anti-god or something. In fact, the only that goes completely against G-d is envy and greed.... which is basically what you are promoting.
What business is it of yours, how much money someone else has? None, unless you are driven by envy or greed. When you sit around saying "that person shouldn't have billions, when that guy doesn't have hundreds"... that is an envious and greed based line of thinking.
Moreover, do you know which person in the bible exemplified your line of thinking?
a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table. When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. "Why this waste?" they asked. "This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor."Do you remember who said that? It was Judas.
But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected, "Why wasn't this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year's wages." He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it.
Now notice... he didn't really care about the poor. That was just an excuse to cover his own greed and envy of the wealth.
This is why the Bible never suggests there is a problem with wealth. Never does it say anything bad about money. It says:
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
Notice... it's not having money that is the root of evil. It is "the love of" money. It is your own attitude towards money, that is the root of evil.
So how can we know what attitude you have towards it? Well if you sit around talking about how much money other people have... that indicates that you have a problem with the love of money.
Ah, that fine line betwixt capitalism and socialism rears it's ugly head yet again here Andy
It's not so much the system, it's the players ,and how they prostitute it , change the rules to benefit themselves, etc
Anyone who's lived Reagan's trick down should be able to opine....
Which is why we've this>
~S~
Reagan never came up with trickle down. And in reality the rich paid more taxes under Reagan, than they did under Carter.
Regardless, everyone was better off under Reagan, and Clinton, which largely followed the economic policies of Reagan.
Inequality is normal, and in fact, I believe good.
The idea that people who do nothing, should have the same amount of wealth as those who work their asses off, is the most immoral of all positions to have.
Moreover, the idea that people who take no risk, should have the same amount wealth as those to take all the risk, is equally immoral.
Even if you work 40 hours a week, you own zero risk. The average owner of a McDonald's franchise has invested over a one million dollars of his own money to have that franchise.
That's the problem with all you anti-capitalist pro-socialist decrying inequality people. You scream about how the owners get so much money, and the workers don't. But what happens when that McDonald's store closes?
See you are all real quick to scream about equality, when the owners are making the big bucks. But magically silent when they are losing the big bucks.
If you really want true equality, then here is my proposal. Let's force all employees to put in equal stakes in the company. If the company does well, then they'll get equal money from the profits. But if the company folds, then all the workers own all the debt equally as well.
The McDonald's I worked at in high school, closed one year after I left. The owner lost everything. I didn't have to pay a dime.
But let's put your "equality" system. The average McDonald's costs $2.4 Million dollars, and has a crew of 40 people. The business goes bust. Ok, everyone owes about $60,000.
That's equal right? You want equality right? Of course your equality would bankrupt most employees, which is why you don't want equality.
Equality is just a word you use to cover for your greed and envy. You only want equality, when there is a reward. You don't want it when there is risk.
Henry Heinz went completely bankrupt when he tried to sell horseradish. No one was complaining about him being a robber baron then. It was only when he was successful selling ketchup, that people started complaining.
Equality is only a term used, when someone sees someone else with more than them.
i don't see many Americans going on vacation in Columbia, and complaining about equality because they themselves have more than 99% of the Colombians.
It's just greed and envy, and it is evil. You should stop it.
