They think that Ebenezer Scrooge had it right before the liberal ghosts got to him
But pray to their fake Christian god every Sunday
Nobody should be a millionaire or trillionaire full stop!
That’s because billionaires control media. When billionaires are given money by the government it is to keep the economy from collapsing, it is saving the American way of life, it is preserving capitalism. When poor people are given money by the government it is encouraging laziness, destroying our fabric of life, godless socialism, promoting communism, etc.
What is good for the capitalist is not always good for the Republic. After the Great Depression they learned that lesson, only took 40 years to start to forget, another 40 and we have the second Gilded Age. It is about the Republic not about the capitalists.
NetWorth is not real money but gobbling up resources with your lazy fat ass is
The accumulation of wealth beyond any reasonable possibility of use should be classified as an illness – like gambling addiction or sex addiction or substance addictions.
capitalism is the most efficient way to create wealth. The question of distribution by takibg from the rich is the key component missing to fix the errors of a capitalist society. Limiting but allowing wealth how u said it. Thats why the last german chancelor olaf scholz social dem (who i dislike for other reasons but agree on in that that regard) pushed for a global minimum tax. Cause in germany we have a social welfare state and a lot of private help that allows for everybody to be fed and get access to health insurance founded by the state if they cant work. But this is on the cost of higher taxes and because of that reason a lot of well educated high performers leave our country for the us or other low tax countries. I wish that one day every country will be a liberal democracy with a social market economy.
The rat race is cruel. There exists a society where we can all have food and housing. A living wage and healthcare. There’s no need for billionaires. Everything after a billion should go back to society Maybe they should consider that their “sacrifice” would end up helping humanity instead of 1%.
Under Capitalism, more people escaped the grinding poverty you speak of. More people have starved under Communism than Capitalism. The data is overwhelmingly clear on this.
And social democratic capitalism is “radical left”
“people starve because they fell through the cracks” seems better than “systematically exterminating millions of your own people as class enemies and counter revolutionary elements and forcing them to starve to death by the millions”

I’m not sure things like children going hungry actually happens here unless the parent literally doesn’t care (i.e. on drugs)
She looks like the “moms for truth” lady.
Like the war on drugs, how is the war on poverty going? Also, at least in America, this isn’t a capitalist nation. Government spending to GDP is around 40%. We are in a mixed economy hell.
And we give FElon 8 million dollars a day. For what???
It’s oligarchy, not capitalism imho
We shouldn’t put a cap on how much success can make, because that is against what America stands for. I also believe that this system should work for all people not just those that throw the most money at it.
Under communism it’s normal to declare someone guilty and take all their stuff and send them to a work camp.
Look, capitalism has issues, but don’t think for a moment if we get rid of it, everything becomes easy.
