And again, leftists haven't a clue what that "wealth" consists of.... Or how tenuous it's value might be.. I could be holding more wealth in $1mill Bitcoin investment than Trump holds in real estate ----- for a day or so. LOL..
You ABUSE capitalists when they fail... Not always their fault.. It's how the cookie crumbles.. But without risk-takers -- there's no future for America as a leader in anything.. And I DONT mean collective risk-taking decided by a Progressive left caucus of morons...
That's NOT a basement full of gold, silver, platinum... It's STEEL mills, car factories, amusement parks movie studios and EVERYTHING AMERICA OWNS...
AND --- it's already been taxed.. Now Bill Gates doesn't HAVE a big physical infrastructure of wealth.. That's more on the hard cash side of things. But next year -- Microsoft could take a nose dive..
MOST ALL of that "wealth" is "at risk"... Leftists don't understand risk.. They want super nanny protection from ANY risk in life.....
Guess you don't believe there's a HUGE and growing disparity between wealthy and middle class that should be repaired without hurting the wealthy?
How do repair it WITHOUT taking it by force of law? Who really cares about the "wealth disparity"?? What matters is RESCUING a middle class from all the pressures of labor dislocation overseas and rising costs of college and healthcare...
PERHAPS --- the Dem socialists pushing for raping the rich just are too incompetent and lazy to BRING UP the middle and lower class in USA... The rich did not STEAL from the rest of us.. You know that don't you? The way it works is that it's NOT a fixed pie that we all fight over... Right?
So --- why are the socialist/commie progressives COOL with Jeff Bezos paying no taxes and buying up America with Google and Facebook? Isn't that "increasing the disparity between wealthy and not?
When these guys DO that -- they don't STEAL money from others. They BUILD NEW value, capacity and volume in the economy...
Answer me how you strip the "wealth" of the 1% when that wealth is NOT IN CASH or gold, but it's inside the walls of 25 MASSIVE Amazon fulfillment centers and a large number of Hollywood Studios, Media companies, Energy companies, ect...
It's amateur hour when leftist progressives whine about economic issues because they are proven to be -- time and time again -- nearly totally ignorant of how a free market economy or Capitalism actually works...
