QuoteYes. If the wealthy person has worked himself to the bone and made his fortune, why the hell should he not reap the rewards and pass it on to future generations in his family so that his children will not want for anything? The people on the bottom are the entitled ones because they spend their time crying and complaining about how much the system works against them and how nothing they do is their fault. They do not take responsibility for their actions. Their failure in life is due to their shitty choices in life, not because the man is keeping them under his thumb.
Wow Doom, really? Is that truly what you believe or are you just bitter?
If it's the former then I'm really sorry for you because you are then a huge part of the problem - enabling corporate welfare while fighting against welfare for the people. You're a reversed Robin Hood. Luxury for the rich over equality for the masses.
QuoteOh, don't give me that rubbish. Welcome to the free market which is the crux of capitalism. People build something and they get to keep it.
Haha! Now you're trolling! No?
The free market is a hoax, as it isn't free at all - it's a pyramid scheme. People build things based on a line of former products, ideas and inventions, usually stemming to government (funded) research or in one way or another enabled by government institutions, subventions, programs etc. Infrastructure is a crux in society - payed with taxes. The list goes on. We're all dependent in one way or another at least once in our lives. Even rich people.
Also, the creator and the patent maker are often two different things. Middlemen and investors, venture capitalists are the ones reaping the true profits, without really lifting a finger. The workers are treated like shit and the people coming up with ideas are bought and "silenced" (assimilated). There is NO coloration whatsoever between labor and income. Just because you work hard doesn't mean shit unless you already have the money.
Your glorification of rich people and your contempt for regular people and especially poor people is directly horrifying. May I ask what made you get this way? I remember that you were a more empathic, considerate and progressive person before, despite your aversion for feminism.
Did you read "Atlas Shrugged" or "Fountain-Head" by any chance?
Also, socialism and capitalism aren't enemies and polar opposites. In reality every successful democracy around the world incorporate both systems to balance things. Some places are more capitalist, some more socialist. Laisez Faire capitalism (championed by right-wing Libertarians) is just as much of a impossible utopian dream as communism is. They're just on two opposite sides of the spectrum.
