What is wrong with taking the Darwinian view of survival of the fittest and fuck my fellow man. In fact, couldn't it be argued that it is better to let them darwinize themselves out of existence as soon as practically possibly?I agree to disagree. Solving simple poverty under our form of Capitalism simply means Persons have more opportunity costs to consider.Have you looked around the world? You are never going to solve “poverty.” We will always have the “poor.” It’s all relative anyway, right?Let's say we solve simple poverty in a market friendly manner;It’s an extreme case but it highlights the point.Let’s say a company has 50,000 employees and the CEO gets a $21,000,000 compensation package with pay, bonus and stock options. Now let’s say we reduce his package to 1 million bucks and give the difference to the 50,000 employees. That’s a whopping $400 increase in pay per employee.
Wow, that really made a difference.
Your imagination is active but why not change the above to an actual case. You can't because you are lying. Why? Because that's the only way to make a "case" in your fantasy world.
Show us the thousands of companies, with 50,000 employees where the CEO earns $21 MILLION. You can't.
You can zero out every CEO’s compensation and use it to increase the pay of the other employees and it wouldn’t change the calculus.
Now am I lying or am I lying?
would the Poor really have to care how much the richest make, for political purposes?
Our “poor” would be considered “rich” in many other parts of the world, right?
So yes people will always complain that others have it better. It’s human nature.
