the wealthy own billions of money while there are people starving and dying in the streets. Yet when I suggest we take a little bit of the former's wealth to help the latter survive, I get called a commie.
Take Trump's son-in-law, Kushner for an example. His family owns over 2000 properties. I think it's totally wrong that one single family gets to wield so much wealth. I mean, how many houses does one family need? I can see that if someone is rich and he wants to have like a few vacation properties. But 2000 properties is bullshit. Nobody should own that much wealth. I feel that we should re-organize our society such that wealth and resources aren't super-concentrated in the hands of just a few billionaires. I am sure there is a way to do this without going full-blown communist. Like maybe we can put a hard cap on how much total wealth any given entity can own, say 70 million dollars. 70 million is already a lot of money, people can live very comfortably on it without having to work.
So what do you think of the phenomenon where there are people who can't afford housing, healthcare, or even food, while the rich sit on billions of dollars?
So you basically wanna steal from wealthy people and give it to poor people?
Totally ignoring the fact that lots of those poor people are poor by choice because they're lazy af? Not everyone who is poor deserves to have money and not everyone with money is the devil's advocate.
