Don't complain about the rich.

[Woodznutz]

You made them wealthy by buying their stuff (I'm guilty as well but I'm not complaining).

There's a little more to it than that.

 

[ReinyDays]

There's a little more to it than that.

No there's not ... it's your money in my bank account ... it really is that simple ... if you want to keep your money, then you won't eat ... better to spend your money and buy land to grow food on ...

The Rich are smart enough to grow extra food to sell to people living in cities ... and you aren't ... simple ... like paying these high high medical insurance premiums with your health care dividend checks ... making others pay for your services ... with a tidy surplus of money to pay someone to wax your LearJet ...

Yeah, there is. Starvation wages, influencing the tax code, offshoring, and much more.

 

[Woodznutz]

There's a little more to it than that.

The 'more to it' is the cultivated ignorance that most are victims of. Also, the fact that most people aren't very smart to begin with.

If schools had a "success club" for students what would be taught wouldn't resemble anything that is taught in the classroom.

 

[ReinyDays]

Yeah, there is. Starvation wages, influencing the tax code, offshoring, and much more.

... all done by publically trade corporations ... why aren't you getting dividend checks or having a pension plan? ... if you want the benefits of capitalism, you have to participate in capitalism ...

 

[BackAgain]

There's a little more to it than that.

Give yourself a little pat on your head. You’ve finally grasped an actual fact.

Of course, back here in reality, the OP never said it was “just” that.

 

[BackAgain]

Guys like Crapitus seem to imagine that only they grasp that issues and problems are complicated. They concern themselves with lots of issues that aren’t problems at all, however.

It is actually none of their fucking business how wealthy an entrepreneur may be; nor is it any of their legitimate business whether that wealthy guy or gal sees fit to provide a share of his or her wealth to the next heirs in their families.

Unless it is obtained by theft, or similar criminality, wealth itself is not even an offense to others. Shitbirds may take offense. They may be jealous. They may have childish economic theories surrounding their jealousy. But that doesn’t make wealth a bad thing. Nor does it make being wealthy an offense against anybody else.

Well according to your dem cult member Joe we have the best economy evar! I guess as long as the grift goes the way the dem cult wants it everything's just fine.

They also ignore the fact that even poorest people today can have access to things that needed servants to perform back in the day. Watch shows like Downtown Abby or The Gilded age to see what rich people had provided by other people, and then go and see that you can get pretty much the same things via technology.

NO, consider that flows of that wealth. Government taxes the hell out of you, wastes a great deal, gives things like eduational aid to Harvard (that has a 50 BIllion dollar endowment as of Oct 2023 ) then forgives loans. YOU get taken by foolish wasteful stupid lazy doddering Biden and the rich do not and even get refunds.

Now, there is collusion. Biden and the richies is famously active. But on the whole, since Biden can just command money and print money YOU pay for all that waste. “An Associated Press analysis found that fraudsters potentially stole more than $280 billion in COVID-19 relief funding; another $123 billion was wasted or misspent." Biden doesn't give a sht.

 

[Woodznutz]

High corporate taxes are responsible for offshoring.

Starvation wages are caused by a glutted unskilled labor market, and by businesses that aren't very profitable.

Which suggests that America is awash in money, flowing and circulating everywhichaway. This is a good thing.

Anyone can navigate all that and prosper. I did, without a college degree or a highly skilled job, using patience and prudence (the twin sisters of success).

The Biden economy in New York City is so great that $Billions are being cut from city services, including policing, so that the illegals can be cared for.

 

[Grumblenuts]

Success is never having bothered others with your stupid opinions about success.

 

[Woodznutz]

You have a point. Losers are bothered by the success of others, and don't want to hear about it.

Losers => democrats

Nobody said "evar". Those unwarranted superlatives are a tRumpling thing.

Also, he said "cult" so

EVERYBODY DRINK!!!

It would be different if we lived in a zero-sum economy where every dollar that a rich person gets is a dollar that someone else doesn't, but that is not the case.

No, not really. Greed is the real motivator.
