It's okay that the top 1% have more money than the bottom 90%

>it's okay that the top 1% have more money than the bottom 90%

If the bottom 90% worked as hard, they too could be apart of the 1%. Effort = profit.

There are people right now in third world shitholes (Brazil included) working 124930584390573475 hours a week. It's not only about hardwork, John, it's about being a smart cookie in the right place at the right time.

Yes, Bill Gates works 90 million times harder than I do

Your society doesn't reward merit to the same degree. That's the problem with corruption.

If the bottom 90% worked as hard, they too could be apart of the 1%. Effort = profit.

Create your own company and create software and products that are used by billions of people and you might.

in capitalism you don't have what you deserve according to a moral code, in capitalism you have in exchange for what you sale, and what you sale have the value by which can by sold

hmmm I wonder who could be behind this post

He sold way more than 90 million products than you ever did, yeah.

>he believes that the top 80 richest people in the world work harder than the poorest 4 billion people in the world

>I deserve free money because some people have more than me

Right but that's not working 90000000x as hard

>ppl can determine and be fair what is fair that can be given to someone

It's well known that Bill Gates employed Rockefeller-like strategies to outsell his competition, and that's why he was involved in a major court case back in the 90's.

Not denying that Bill Gates is a hard worker, but if you're gonna tell me that working harder = wealth then you are retarded

I know PLENTY of hard workers that live paycheck to paycheck. I also know plenty of lazy assholes who make six figure salaries.

I didn't say they work harder, I was implying they created and sold service/goods that millions of people voluntarily traded for.

>From each according to their ability, to each according to their need

>all wealth is accumulated fairly

Those "lazy assholes" are obviously smarter then.

...

>me not think it fair you earn more money for doing something i choose/don't have the ability to

It doesn't matter that you work hard if you never ask for a promotion, or rise, look for new positions, or start your own company if all else fails. That just makes you a doormat.

You need just 700k wealth to be in the top 1% globally. It's achievableto anyone in the 1st world.
If you have a decent job you're already in th top 5%
Fuck the 3rd world let poorfags be poor

All I am saying is that no matter what, there is always going to be a lower class and always going to be an upper class.

I think it's fine that there is a wealth gap. That's the whole point of capitalism.

But when the richest 80 people in the world have more money than the bottom 4 fucking billion people then you have a plutocracy

Just clean the federal reserve swamp and nuke the Rothschilds, and you have basically solved the problem.

When I saw the top 1% I really mean a handful of billionaires.

Jeff Bezos has more money than half of all Americans put together.
You're telling me he worked harder than each and every single one of them?

>smarter

Intelligence is ridiculously more rewarded if you work in finance than any other domain.
Large Hadron Collider scientists aren't all millionaire.

I don't have a moral problem with certain individuals having more money than others under a relative free market system. It's not fair to compare the wealth and status accumulated over generations in the west with some starving Ethiopian who shits out 20 kids and pretend to be puzzled why one has more than the other.

>I can determine what is fair and be fair

Being smart doesn't make you wealthier, either.

You do realize the world is a lot more different than what your 5th grade teacher told you, right?

Contrary to what she said, hard work =/= wealth and neither does intelligence.

Nobody earned their way to a billion dollars.

>When I saw the top 1% I really mean a handful of billionaires.
But you don*t have to be a billionaireto be in the top 1%. Be more precise next time

Its not about free money, its about having decent living conditions and to achieve that you need money. If the 90% lived a good life there wouldn´t be a reason to complain that the 1% has so much wealth, there woulnd´t really be a reason to be upset if even the farmers in africa can live by a fine fulfilling life. Right now said farmer in africa can´t live a good life and its not because he doesn´t work hard, he works really fucking hard, but actually because wealth (wich is limited) is so highly concentrated on that that this african dude simply has no way to have any sort of capital to improve his life.

>But you don*t have to be a billionaireto be in the top 1%.

Yes, I know that.

Inheritance shouldn't exist. When somebody dies their money should be taken and only the bare amount necessary to survive should be left to their family. Everything else should be seized by the government and used to pay for public infrastructure.

The use of offshore bank accounts and investing in foreign projects to divest your capital should be treated as an act of treason and be accordingly punished by immediate seizure of all assets followed by a quick expulsion to Africa. If they love anarchy so much they can live in it for the rest of their lives.

Then stop talking about 1% if you don't mean it.

So I don't we give salaries respective to IQ?
Every company will have to give an IQ test to its employees and give them raises if they're over 100 or a salary reduction if they're under 100.

How can you be so delusional to believe that capitalism is completely fair, there is nothing wrong with it and nothing to improve. No one says to do away with capitalism, we point out it flaws, which are quite obvious.

Libertarians are fucking brainlets.

The two biggest predictors for economic success are IQ and consciousness, meaning we're living in a largely meritocratic system. If you work your ass off and aren't a retard you can make it into the upper middle class pretty easily within a decade.

>Nobody earned their way to a billion dollars.
Yup, definitely an ideologue.

So point them out, and no commie shit please.

>we are one world
>other people having more means I have less
>waaaaahhhh they should give me some

I meant in the "work smarter, not harder" sense. He made a point that he knows tons of hard working guys who don't make shit, but also knows "lazy assholes" who make a ton, well obviously those lazy assholes are doing something the hard workers haven't figured out.

People already did, it's even in the OP, not gonna spoon feed you.

>no commie shit please
>everything even slightly different from my ideology counts as communism

>not realizing that the middle class is being sacrificed to various lower class groups and that anyone in the middle class should despise both sides.

Fuck off, parasite. If I want to create a legacy and leave money that I worked for and was taxed to my descendants, I should be able to. You're not entitled to other people's hard earned money.

Desu, you're in the top 1% if you have a lower middle class job
I'm in the top 1% and I have zero chance of moving out of my bedroom

>i make $32,400 a year, therefore I'm in the global top 1%

>wage is a function of effort

>this statistic goes against my narrative
>quick better post another meme

>all money is made by hard work!!
>acktually inheritence is hard work cus i say so!!
>You need just 700k wealth to be in the top 1% globally. It's achievableto anyone in the 1st world.
No, it's not. Are richfags really this delusional?

>why yes, of course my ideology builds on a non-voluntary "we"
>NO I AM THE ONE BEING OPPRESSED REEEEEE

Forced wealth redistribution is not a viable solution, you commie scum.

>Reaganomics is proven to work in the long term.

Nobody is entitled to the money of other people, that's precisely why we must eradicate the concept of inheritances that encourages the creation of a parasitic class of human being, the neo-feudal lords and ladies blessed only with the accumulation of their ancestors funds allowed to live luxuriously without having earned it or deserved it.

For this reason the government must step in and that useless cash must be used to refurbish the roads, fix the bridges, improve the schools and lead the country as a whole to a brighter future where all men will prosper.

>SOME GUY IN INNER KAMCHATKA GAVE HIS SON A BAR OF GOLD REEEEEEE HOW IS THAT FAIR WHAT ABOUT ME I DIDN'T GET A BAR OF GOLD I AM BEING OPPREESED WE SHOULD TAKE HIS BAR OF GOLD AND REDISTRIBUTE IT

>unregulated capitalism is great
>just work harder bro!

How is there anything wrong with leaving money for your children? No, greentext with bad spelling is not a convincing argument.

>you don't earn a lot because you're not productive bro
>stop being lazy start being productive and the riches will come to you bro

I thought rich people are rich because they work hard? And now you're telling me that getting free money from dead parents is "hard work"? I thought you people loved the idea of a meritocracy?

Fucking parasite. People save up money precisely to give it to their descendants. If you poorfags want to donate whatever accumulated wealth(you won't have) when you die to the government you can.

People are driven to be economically productive so they can provide a better future for their family, you don't deserve money that was meant for a descendant.

>wtf it's not fair that I was born ugl- erhh stu- uhh I mean poor guys, don't you think things should be fair?

>You should work hard if you want to be financially successful!
>waiting for your father to die is considered hard work.

The parents worked hard for the money and are entitled to spend it however they please. If they want it going to their family then that's your choice, you're a fucking parasite who resents the productive class.

>The two biggest predictors for economic success are IQ and consciousness
Nope. It boils down to family wealth which provides access to the tools 99.99% will ever afford.

>If you work your ass off and aren't a retard you can make it into the upper middle class pretty easily within a decade.
No legally. It's a damn shame scum like you are allowed to live.

>IT'S NOT FAIR GUYS, HOW COME JOHN'S MOMMY LETS HIM HAVE TWO BARS OF CHOCOLATE

Not necessarily, like most things in life it's a combination of multiple factors including luck.

I didn't say that but how is it logical for someone to work hard and not be allowed to pass it down to their children?

>How is there anything wrong with leaving money for your children?
Ask the Gettys
Children should be given life skills and companies should be given succession plans

They'll either spend it on frivolous items and purchases, in which case rather than being used to pay for the wages of a teacher or a firefighter it will instead line the pockets of a casino owner or some useless bounty hunter driving rare species to extinction to satisfy the eccentric tastes of the hopelessly wealthy, or they'll use that money to further expand the economic empires blessed upon them by their fathers, but if they had the acumen and skills to create such an empire in the first place then they needn't receive it from another.

Inheritances should not stop existing, but severely limited after a certain point to prevent the stagnation and reckless accumulation of cash that could instead continue to flow freely and pass through many hundreds of hands stabilizing and stimulating the economy rather than gathering dust in a close somewhere in switzerland.

But there are also intelligent people that either don't have luck or don't have funds or don't have family that can help and thus can't become wealthy. When you're preoccupied with surviving you can't put your intelligence to good use.

>complains that poor people are parasites
>ignores that you can do nothing productive with your whole life, have a retaliative die and suddenly become rich.
>they're not parasites because ???

Oh, so your parents dying IS considered "hard work" now. At last I see.
You still haven't explained how in this perfect meritocracy that capitalism supposedly is, that people who do zero work are rewarded simply because someone else they knew supposedly did.

Stop taxing corporations then.

>Nope. It boils down to family wealth which provides access to the tools 99.99% will ever afford.
Wrong. You are better off being 3 standard deviations higher in IQ while being 3 standard deviations lower in socio-economic status than the reverse. By the time you're 40 the correlation between it and where you end up is even greater, and it only grows the older you get. If scum like me weren't allowed to live you'd have no one to parasite off of, poorfag.

>mfw unemployed university student and earned over $400 (and counting) USD writing depraved vore fanfics

It's about working smart, not hard. There is a reason why McDonalds employees are not world leaders you child.

>it's completely OK that banks and big corporations work with the state to increase their profits and corruption using taxpayer's money

Parasite implies the host doesn't want you. There's a difference between willingly giving your money to people and having it taken from you by force. You're hilariously stupid.

>corporations pay taxes
Nice world you're living in brother.

grug born in rich tribe
grug deserve more stone than poor grug
poor grug not work hard like rich grug

No, you are the parasite here, mate. People have no right to a "legacy" simply by failing to use a condom. You are such a fucking hypocrite because inherited wealth represents the least earned form of wealth. You're all about people earning their success yet completely happy with a feudal class system which relies more heavily on public resources and manipulating government legislation than the people who actually pay taxes.

Fuck you. The right wing is merely an umbrella term for sociopathology.

Who cares if they have money? I am satisfied with my life because when I buy a car, I can feel a lot more proud than anyone in the top 1% because I worked hard for it whereas if they were to buy thousands upon thousands of cars, they wouldn't feel good or anything.

>corporations never pay taxes
>we should tax them anyway and create a monopoly because small businesses can't get around the tax system as easily
>ree fucking capitalism

grug gathered stones
grug deserves more stones than grug who did not gather stones
in fact, grug who gathered no stones deserves no stones
unless grug is a cripple, then we might give him a little stone
but we will not give grug equal amount as grug who gathered all the stone

I never said it was a perfect meritocracy, nothing in life is.

I can agree maybe with inheritance tax for estates of a certain million dollar+ amount but to prevent people from passing down the homes they worked their lives to pay off is insane.

What is wrong with the people on this site where everything is a fucking extreme? Why can't we discuss logical policymaking.

>trust fund babies and nepotism don't exist.

Are you really so daft that you don't think money tends to stay at the top? There nothing wrong with being wealthy, but stratification and lack of social mobility is a precursor to economic and political upheaval that hurts everyone.

No? Nobody's arguing for that shit.

the fact is if you live in a western country and are poor you're an abject failure

The point isn't that the intended receiver of the inheritance earned it more than say the people who receive it through welfare, but that the person who earned it decides who their money goes to when they die. You're a parasite because you're advocating for taking away people's money against their will.

Kill yourself. You're lower than a fucking cockroach in my book.

You're right Canada-user. I was making extremely foolish posts that failed to consider the full breadth and depth of the situation and I'm afraid all I've done is push the people I care about away from me.

Everyone, I hope you can forgive me for making those posts.

>tightening down on tax dodging is out of the question!
Yeah let's all pretend there's a single senator in your entire Congress that isn't working for some shitty megacorp

Given that you have access to higher education so you can become an engineer or doctor then you can work hard and live comfortably. If you cant afford school you either join the military and die for israel or work walmart and clean up after the sharters.

Turn off the proxy, mutt.

You can go to a trade school or become an apprentice. You can work in the restaurant industry and climb up the ranks. You can get a real estate license. There are tons of options for people who can't afford college.
