Don't complain about the rich.

[Woodznutz]

It would be different if we lived in a zero-sum economy where every dollar that a rich person gets is a dollar that someone else doesn't, but that is not the case.

True. "Dollars" buy stuff, then return to the general economy, and 'right soon' at that.

 

[Woodznutz]

No, not really. Greed is the real motivator.

Government greed trumps corporate greed. No one is forced to buy the stuff corporations sell, but all must pay taxes.

Not really, no. Corporate greed cuts into government revenue pretty deeply.

Correct.

Anyone can navigate all that and prosper. I did, without a college degree or a highly skilled job, using patience and prudence (the twin sisters of success).

I don't have a high school diploma ... uneducated construction laborer ... it's more of a lost skill on how to operate a shovel ... my main insight was starting a business right away, age 22, and running all my income through that business ... and go looking for opportunity ...

Yeah, I knew it was the right time and the right place ... just had to be there ... and now I'm Rich ... and only worked 12-14 hours a day for the summer, more like 4-6 hours a day the other four months ... doesn't everyone get four months paid vacation? ...

Not really, no. Corporate greed cuts into government revenue pretty deeply.

Corporate greed produces employment and production; government greed produces handouts to unproductive people in exchange for votes.

Love it! Shows what is possible here. I'm not rich but I am a millionaire (takes over 2 $million to be considered rich these days).

Corporate greed produces employment and production; government greed produces handouts to unproductive people in exchange for votes.

Corporate greed produces poverty by a number of different means including offshoring and underpaying workers. This contributes to diminishing the tax base and costing the government extra funds because they have to pay the workers so they can afford enough to eat.

They're a bunch of fat pigs ... Lord have mercy but obesity in epidemic across the lands ...

Gaza Palestinian women have shown a 4.0 fertility rate during the 21st Century ... they don't eat better, they just have more kids ... half the population are children ... that's bad, like Sahel bad ...

Yeah, there is. Starvation wages, influencing the tax code, offshoring, and much more.

Self-Reliance Only for Their Serfs

By passing on their wealth to their brats, they destroy the next generation.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

The 'more to it' is the cultivated ignorance that most are victims of. Also, the fact that most people aren't very smart to begin with.

If schools had a "success club" for students what would be taught wouldn't resemble anything that is taught in the classroom.

You have a point. Losers are bothered by the success of others, and don't want to hear about it.

Juniorocracy

Those who support hereditary privileges are losers who hate their own Daddies for not getting rich and spoiling them, setting them up halfway to the finish line, and getting them out of fighting for their country. What Preppy-lovers call "jealous" is really JUSTICE.

They Have No Right to the Positions the Rulers Give Them

Inferior people in management forces them to seek Low-Wage foreigners because they're too incompetent to run a business that pays the wages Americans deserve. "Greed" is a coverup of a terminal system based on birth and brown-nosing, not worth. And the Yuppy brown-noses will be the next to be replaced by automation, outsourcing, and insourcing of "educated" foreigners.

The Right Hand Does Know What Its Left Hand Is Doing

Also of other inferior people who can't qualify for a good job unless they work for the government. This benefits the plutocratic parasites by giving government services a bad reputation.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Define rich

Whoever Controls Language Controls Thought

A meaningless term unless you distinguish between earned wealth, inherited wealth, wealth earned only because of being set up by Daddy's Money, wealth earned by bootlicking the heiristocracy, and wealth through luck. That leaves little left for wealth that is actually earned and deserved.

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

Losers complain about the rich.
But they would love to be rich.
The Democrat Party exploits dumb losers.
