That's the theory anyway. It holds that the rich have all the power and can effectively revolt against democracy if they are not allowed to keep what they earn in the free market. Democracy is only good, the rich feel, when it allows them to keep what they freely earn. So, to preserve our democracy we must let the rich keep what they earn, and, let everyone else keep what they earn, lest a Libcommie govt come to power with the authority to determine what everyone earns as they see fit.
 
Equality is born of tyranny.

And, inequality is born of God or nature. There is much inequality among humans and among humans and others species. This is the basis for the most rapid evolution possible, something we need to stay ahead of the viruses in nature that would kill us all.
Liberals don't know this. They are not scientific; they are ascientific.

The rich have all the power because they have used their wealth to bribe pliable politicians to construct laws and institutions designed to distribute goods and services through a "free" market based on ability to pay.

Do you sense a fundamental contradiction between "free" and "ability to pay"?


Coronavirus Is Forcing the GOP to Admit Its Ideology Is Delusional

"Markets, money, and corporations are all creations of the state.

"The distribution of income is not determined by an invisible hand’s objective appraisal of each worker and investor’s marginal utility but by the politically constructed laws and institutions that structure economic activity in a given society."
 
It's a threat to democracy that some people get to look like this ...

And the rest of us look like this ...

Beauty inequality is an existential threat to our democracy.

wrong of course! before govt, people bartered based on the relative value of goods and services offered in the market place. The market place is God's place. Our right to the free market came from God or nature.

Yes, it could be I suppose, but economic inequality is a threat only because Marxists encourage violent revolution to win more welfare payments for the inequal.

I wonder why we worship inequal athletic skill and pay but not inequal business skill and pay?

Hey stupid, in case you weren't aware, the USA is NOT a democracy, it's a representative republic.

It's a compound republic, dumbass.

Don't try to correct other people until you learn what the heck you're talking about first.

If every community takes a portion of its members and assigns them the particular function of using their minds and muscles for the purpose of making things from nature and, since a considerable number of people in that community are NOT assigned that specific purpose, a surplus is generated by those making specific things, which cohort of the total community should decide how the surplus is distributed?

Hint:
Masters or Slaves?
Feudal lords or serfs?
Capitalists or workers??

That’s because democrats only offer opportunity to rich people, you can’t open a business in democrat run towns if your not uber rich, and that’s the opposite of how America was started it was from the bottom up.
DEREGULATE!

Love the way your mindset is always communist Nazi. We don’t want communists or Nazis deciding/assigning; we want freedom. Freedom is what America is based on and freedom is what made America the greatest country in the history of the world by far.

"As the coronavirus pandemic shutters America’s storefronts and fills its ICUs, the GOP is camouflaging a whispered confession beneath a cough.

"The party’s admission is so quiet most Republicans can’t even make it out themselves.

"But listen carefully to recent directives from the Trump administration and its allies and you’ll hear unmistakably: Our theory of governance is a lie."

Here's where your "freedom" came from

Only conservatives conflate freedom with slavery.

If every community takes a portion of its members and assigns them the particular function

What community assigned your function?

a surplus is generated by those making specific things,

Surplus? LOL!

If you aren't satisfied with the income you earn at your job, get another.
You're only entitled to your income. You have no claim on any "surplus".

which cohort of the total community should decide how the surplus is distributed?

Owners. Not you.
