All that you keep doing is presenting your opinions as fact and painting a glorified picture of the economic realities of capitalism. Granted , there are others who subscribe to your views but that does not make them right, and they are in the minority , You, and they are expounding a theory of how things should work in a just and rational world. The reality, which you ignore is far different

Proponents argue that leaving more money in the hands of the wealthy and corporations encourages investment, expansion, and job creation, which ultimately benefits everyone.
In practice, the additional capital retained by high earners is largely not spent in ways that cascade down. Instead, it tends to stay concentrated at the top through stock dividends, executive bonuses, and asset accumulation
What the Data Shows
No Trickle-Down Effect: A major London School of Economics study analyzing 50 years of tax cuts in 18 wealthy nations found that they consistently resulted in higher income inequality but had no statistically significant effect on unemployment or economic growth.
Wage Stagnation: Research shows that instead of generating wealth for lower and middle classes, tax cuts frequently led to trillions of dollars in wage growth being redistributed away from average workers directly to the top 1% of earners.
Bottom-Up Growth: Leading institutions like the IMF have found the reverse to be true: increasing the income share of the poor and middle class is what actually drives sustainable economic growth. [

You said that “The economy grows so its not zero sum” Yes the economy groes in terms of GDP and the stock market, but that does not benefit all or even most people who do not have investments.
You said that “wealth is built by creating ideas that society wants. Then create a business plan that works.” So? Your point is what exactly? Are our socialistic programs and policies somehow putting a damper on that? More importantly, does it benefit working people- of just those on top ?
As far as job creations goes, the wealth are not going to create jobs just because they have some extra case sitting around . They would just as soon buy another yacht or put it in a Swiss bank. They will only create jobs if there is a market for their good or services and if people do not have money, there is no market
You said that “Anyone can invest and make capitals gains. Just do it.” Totally ridiculous !!! That right there shows how pathetically far out of touch with reality you are. Many people do not have anything left to invest after meeting basic needs…..many cant even do that and thanks to Trumps Tariffs and War it’s getting worse . You have destroyed all credibility , if in fact you ever had any
There is no Mathew effect education is free.??? EDUCATION IS FEE???? More evidence of your tenuous hold on reality . High school is free/ If you want to go to trade school or college you pay….and then you drown in debt. The Mathew effect is very real indeed and it’s not just about education. .
You said “Socialism doesnt level the playing field. It creats two class sosiety Rich elites and the poor.”?? CAPITALISM creates two class society rich elites and the poor.”??
“Examples, Cuba, Russia, North Korea, Venezuela before Maduro was arrested” More evidence of how confused you are. Actually, this explains a lot. You’re simply too entrenched in your narrow, ridged , binary thought process where everything is either good or bad . You’re clearly unable to discern the subtle- or not so subtle- differences between Socialism in the context of a Marxist dictatorship and Democratic Socialism.
You said “Lower income families will aways exist. Not enough skills, not enough ambition, poor choices etc. What you earn is based on your value to society.” and “ If you don’t earn enough that’s your problem” .
Classic blaming the victim bullshit! The victims of unchecked capitalism. Poverty and unemployment are structurally built into the capitalist system. Inequality of opportunity is standard. You really don’t understand much, do you? What planet do you live on??
