That's why we live in society. For the advantage of living together : sharing knowledges, techniques, goods, ideas, and wealth ; that's why taxes exist and that's what holds societies together (since apparently the use of money in civilizations tend to "create" a big part of greedy people.)
Rich people wouldn't be rich if they were alone on earth, the concept of being rich itself is relative to people surrounding you. Rich people wouldn't be rich if many -obviously- less rich people bought their shits, and if some other -obviously- even less rich people build their shits, etc...
Evrything rich people have, they have it because the people make it possible for them to have.
Having billions of dollars, more than you, or your kids, and their kids etc... will ever need, and just sitting on it and saying "I worked I deserved it, fuck people they can die in their own shit", is just being a blind stupid dickhead without a clue about life.
If people can live happily in a simple house with simple needs, who the fuck needs 4 fucking mansions and 10 blow-my-dix-expensive cars. Everyone works, in this case wouldn't everyone deserve 4 fucking mansions and 10 blow-my-dix-expensive cars ?
And now, some "normal middle class" people like us defend the idea - the political belief - that being shat in the mouth by very rich people is something normal and totally fine. That's a totally new idea that emerged from ultra liberal capitalism, consumerism, and being stupid in general... Because they think, and even dream, that anyone can climb the "social ladder", at anytime, if people work hard enough to get to the top. and that blows my fucking mind, Watson. They hold on to this idea like it's the fucking principle of freedom or something.
It seems like you want to start a flame war with this statement. Now weather that was the intention it sure as hell seemed like it.
What is honestly wrong with believing in this? What is so bad that you have to get so mad like that actually be on the border line of insulting those who believe it, I think it's a good thought to have because if what you say is true, whats keeping the world from falling into shit? What's keeping the world from just stopping all functions and just waiting to die? Because without this thought that you have provided there really wouldn't be any reason to live now would there? There is no reason to live without this thought process, so to you who tries to bring a hammer down on it is amazing. Because honestly it's not like we will get there (I'm middle class USA) so why not have us talk about it and defend it like it's our child? Why is it so irritating to you? Does it honestly effect you if someone thinks this way and likes the work they do?
I swear people like yourself are almost as bad as the rich fucks who do keep everything for themselves, and yes I did change my thought process a little bit, not to say that if you have more then you need to give it out, but otherwise I'm still for "If you earned it it's yours and you are free to do with it as you please".
