Give me one good reason that people who believe that the rich "earn" their wealth, but don't support a 100% inheritance tax aren't complete hypocrites.

Hilton wasnt even born when Tesla died.

Tesla was brilliant but he was complete garbage at actually making money off of his genius.

Then capitalism is obviously the problem. If you think that the man who literally invented the modern age of technology deserves what happened to him, yet Paris Hilton, a useless eater deserves to be as rich as a small country and never want for anything, then you admit that capitalism IS THE PROBLEM. Period. There is zero way to refute this.

tesla was also a faggot. maybe that was the problem.

You must be pretty shit when you make less money than a retard. Maybe paris hilton has retard smarts

Tesla was an anomoly.

Also, success never equals revenue 100% of the time. There are plenty of laws in place of protecting intellectual property.

>Shittalking the man who gave us modern electricity and telecommunications
Capitalism.

The problems are intrinsic to capitalism. It is NOT meritocratic and it tends to become dynastic with little class mobility.

Money should be passed down.

this is the basis for civilization. If you argue otherwise, you can't understand incentivization and yewman nature

I don't see how the two are related and capitalism doesn't "ensure" anyone becomes anything.

>incentivization
To be a sociopath. Exactly. And how has this not utterly destroyed the world?

Of course it does. Capitalism damn near guarantees that sociopaths ascend to power because it only rewards manipulation, greed and sociopathy.

Tesla, while a genius, was not wired for business.
He was boned by Edison, BUT, he voluntarily bent over.
He was an idealist.

>>Deserves

Go fuck yourself faggot. Nobody deserves shit. Go back to previous school pussy.

Nikola Tesla was a genius, but he was also mentally ill.

I don't like what the government does with tax money

Tesla wasn't even that poor. He lived in a nice hotel, was famous and invited to all the high class parties etc. He rubbed elbows with the cultural elite even if he himself wasn't 'rich'.

Also, he never married and didn't have kids so who cares if he was in debt. There's no one to go after for the money.

KILL YOUR SELF

Here's your (you), comrade.

>100% inheritance tax
And what prevents someone giving away their wealth before they die.
Are you going to tax all cash gifts at 100% and prevent people from ever giving money to others.

Jesus why is it these threads always start with such stupid straw man arguments?

>NATURE hath made men so equal in the faculties of body and mind as that, though there be found one man sometimes manifestly stronger in body or of quicker mind than another, yet when all is reckoned together the difference between man and man is not so considerable as that one man can thereupon claim to himself any benefit to which another may not pretend as well as he. For as to the strength of body, the weakest has strength enough to kill the strongest, either by secret machination or by confederacy with others that are in the same danger with himself.

Hobbes, Leviathan ch. XIII. Hobbes was not, as far as I know, a cultural Marxist.

No OP, don't be a faggot.

I'm suggesting the fact tesla was a homosexual had something to do with his lack of money.

Nah paris hilton can actually handle her money

i think you approach it wrong. its not that paris didnt earn it, its that the grandad hilton who did earn it decided to do what he wanted with his money.

>inheritance tax

Kill yourself.

>being smart at one thing means being smart at all things
Tesla couldn't manage money for shit. Paris Hilton read the market and saw a gap that she filled with her shitty pancake tits and abysmal dick-sucking.

Nobody promised that capitalism makes sure only the best become rich and successful, but it sure as hell makes it a possibility. With socialism, both would probably have nothing.

>And what prevents someone giving away their wealth before they die.
People are already doing this to avoid inheritance tax, atleast in Germany. The whole concept is flawed because people will find a way around it. And you can turn money into physical goods that can be passed down too.

>Celibate
>Faggot
Pick one.

He's literally saying "shit isn't equal but you can still succeed if you want it badly enough".

What gives the government the right to seize a person's property after they die, you fucking commie.

If I make wise decisions to make a better life for my children, then why shouldn't I be free to do it, you stupid bitch?

Tesla could have been enormously wealthy if he wasn't such an aspie freakazoid.

Capitalism, like many other systems, only works for you when you're not a full-blown spectrum-straddling autismo.

Capitalism kills and treats people unfairly, no shit
no one in their right mind supports it, no one who know what they are talking about
working people worldwide unite

Capitalism works best if you know how to interact with people and accept that self imposed isolation does you more harm than good, which was why Edison could do what he did without any consequence. If you expect to profit off of society you have to also learn how to work with and appeal to some facet of society. Being highly intelligent is not a magic formula for success there are a multitude of factors that go with it as well.

She must not be too stupid if she learned how to market herself and sell products with her name on them, earning millions. It only goes to show how capitalism means ANYONE can become rich, regardless of how high their IQ is if they can learn how market themselves.

Look at that faggot pewdiepie. People should be given the freedom to make money providing retarded "entertainment".

Capitalism was never about rewarding individual talent, there's some truth to it but it's the same level if idealism and romanticism that lefties have about communism when they say it promotes equality, when really all it does is more everyone equally poor outside of the state.

Capitalism's strength is that it provides the highest and most sustainable quality of life in the modern world to the general public. It has no guarantees for the individual.

>I don't believe in justice or fairness
>I actively support everything going to shit
That's like telling an atheist he actively supports depression and nihilism. Sure it's a result of his belief, but the belief is based on what is true, not what he wants to be true. Justice and fairness are meaningless now that we know free will doesn't exist. Shit just happens.

Sloppy thinking from an era where we rarely quantified human characteristics. Stop hanging on to equality, we know it isn't true. Give up and move on.
