I want to be rich and I’m lower-middle class and ya don’t speak for me. It’s a fun thought experiment but I would love to be rich. I have zero desire, will, or need to crush someone else to raise myself up. That’s the difference. I’ve been a bread ticket, it’s annoying. I’ve been too poor, also annoying. Everything I have is mine and that’s how I like it.


pretty much every leftist/communist.

That's been the go to simping for these NPC villagers many many times throughout history. Just replace anything they hate with something they all wish they had

I am not doing this for money for myself. I am doing this for justice. Most of the wealth the uber-wealthy possess, they did not earn nor deserve.

Transparency in profit earning at job levels to normalize actual earned income solves this easier.

Example: If your post pays 15/hr but your earning your company 30/hr you must be allocated say 90% of your actual earning power rather than the company profiting from the labor. This leaves 10% profit for the company which still earns the overall company money to function and grow.


That would even create a new industry. Problem is in how that would hurt startups and entrepreneurs, as well as how it would impact investment and people working for companies that aren't making money for whatever reason; be it temporary or otherwise. An income maximum is more effective at limiting wealth redistribution to the rich without hampering innovation. The bar can be set absurdly high and still be effective. Noone even has use for billions of dollars. It's just a dick measuring contest at that level.

This, a thousand times.

Once you get to a certain point of wealth, any more wealth will not make you happier, but it will only serve to take happiness from those who don't have it.

I am not a leftist if that's what you are thinking. I hate most things associated with the left, and I can't stand lefties/liberals.

However, a very big part of the government's functions is to ensure the maximum amount of happiness for the most number of people.

It's called debt. If your company begins to fail you either close shop, get debt, or find a way to increase profit.

How does having profit based income hurt companies unless they refuse to do any of those things? Answer....don't start a company that can't compete or profit and try to make it work by abusing employees wages.

It's our leading problem...employees getting the short end when they attribute the most while the top rake in the cash. That's how billionaires were made.

oh noes grasping basic metaphor is difficult.

Lol unless you using smoke signals you are making some multi billionaire wealthy because you and the rest of the world using their products/system.
What phone u using then samsung, nokia? selective wokism is a nice way to fabricate personal frustrations while trying to maintain some kind of superiority.
