re: CNN: The US would be better off with fewer billionaires

Why do you say hoarding assets like it's a negative?

Are those assets not earned and already taxed? What right does the government have to claim any of that?

If you took all the money in the world and divided it evenly among all the people in the world, in short order the same people who had the bulk of it before would have it again.

Wealth envy is not a solution. It's an emotion

Success is being vilified, welcome to the new world order.

Our educational system could not have failed us more.

The Bible says it is wrong to hoard land and not be productive. If one person owned 99.99999 percentin the world he could force people off the land and let people starve to death. This is extreme but in principle it is the same. Hoarding everything is unproductive to society. I'm not advocating for or against anything I'm merely showing you how stupid it is to let the wealthy get wealthier by skimming off the less fortunate.

Tell you what I'll buy everything and move you to a reservation in Alaska so you can live a little bit longer. No trespassing I passed laws sat ng I can shoot you on site if caught.

Yeah um scarcity. It's basic laws of economics. You must be for slavery so you can own everything including labor. I'm gonna pray for you baw.

That's the conundrum. Taxing wealthy especially at what Warren and Bernie propose would likely create liquidity issues. Probably be great for lawyers that setup trusts and corporations. We all know how the gubment loves them.

The only thing that needs to be fixed in America is healthcare. It's too facking expensive and one of the leading causes people list during bankruptcy. Hospital bills eat away at your soul. I don't have solutions but I'm willing to listen.

If we go by the definition of socialism which is "the means, production and distribution of a society is owned collectively" it should be 0%. You owned a business, you spent countless hours learning about your product, working out the details and leadership skills and learned how to deal with the banks and manage the money. You should rightfully keep what profits you earned, are you going to divide thousands of dollars equally to the cashiers or stockers or to the rest of society? If we are talking about Democratic socialism 0%. The United Nations expects Sweden to be on par with your average third world country by 2030. Bernie is the soul of socialism fake, phony and a poser. He speaks passionately about the poor but buys three homes and has millions, passionately speaks of injustice but endorsed the woman who robbed his candidacy and supports things like the Federal Reserve, the TPP and wars abroad. All establishment policies. Compassion is when you devote your own time and money to the poor and needy, not trying to rob others via the government.


But in some ways Socialism is like food. It is an absolute requirement for a healthy system. Eat too little and things wither away and become weak. Eat too much and the system becomes bloated, sick and unhealthy.

The question is not “is socialism good/bad?”It’s how much do we need and what kind. Like all things....Balance.

Bernie's policies would in fact ruin the country and crash the system

Trump's policies makes you feel bad and grow your 401k.

Bernie is definitely an idiot. A wealth tax is pretty stupid... But there are too many loopholes in the system and it should be easier to navigate... but that would put too many tax accountants and tax prepareres out of business... Inefficiencies keep them employed.
