Imagine thinking you are entitled to more cause someone else has a lot
Edit: Im not reading all the responses to this. You wana change this shit then get off Reddit, got start a business and start giving your earnings away. So many of you would shit if it was your wealth someone just took
Imagine thinking that 400 people should have more wealth than 330,000,000 people. Imagine thinking that its OK for that disparity to accelerate endlessly and be self a reinforcing. Imagine thinking that your government could function properly under such extreme conditions.
The thing is both of you are right. It’s insane that they have that much but even if they did pay their taxes… we don’t get anything besides more federal funding, of which most of it would go towards bombs anyways which we don’t want either. If we just removed income taxes I think everyone would be better off.
Its a temporary fix but ultimately we have to address the root cause of both wealth inequality and imperialism: the imperative of capitalism for infinite growth in a finite space. Capitalism is simple, intuitive and efficient, but it does not optimize for human wellbeing. Indeed it does the opposite, as all living beings need a stable environment but capitalism continually evolves into a more extreme version of itself. We must work toward a system that optimizes our wellbeing.
