I think the key mistake in the far-left's plan is that they assume that they would only need to "disown" the billionaires once/temporarily to fund their expansive programs, and that these programs would subsequently carry themselves by creating more wealth among the working- and middle-classes. In reality, every historical experience with this kind of big government policies indicates that they remain loss-making and continue to have to be financed from ongoing tax revenue.

Lol, is that highlight supposed to be making fun of him and his worldview, calling him naive?

bootstraps made of silver are still bootstraps

Yeah, I don't really get it. So he's working under his father's business? So what?

Sounds like some bitter people who probably never had any real ambition of their own.
Exhausting being around people like that, "How come he gets that, how come she gets that"

If people stopped complaining and starting making goals and following through with plans on reaching those goals their time would be better spent. Just saying.

I agree. My dad offered to teach me what he does and to make money while doing it, but I'd rather go to school on my own path, and work towards my own ambitions.

Despite that, taking a path given to you is a form of ambition as well. Just because you grasp an easily presented opportunity doesn't mean you will achieve in it.

Guess I can reduce my opinion of you to Chris's level.

Its pretty easy to see the hypocrisy whether you think its wrong or not. Seeing things from somebody elses perspective is a basic skill you both lack.

It isn't hypocrisy. Your thinking is too straightforward. There is a difference between having an easy life, and realizing the essence of life, than having an easy life and not understanding it.
