some people seem like gifted hustlers and money makers man. we know however it's just genes, environment and luck. this is why it's immoral that any one person is allowed to accumulate so much money. after taxes no one should have more than 20k in the bank
@EpicSlug sorry I just don't think that's true... if everyone earned more equally then everyone could buy more things and companies would sell much more. There are many many people willing to run companies, it's not about the money for many it's about doing a job well and being recognized by society for it. People should achieve status and respect based on their work for others not how much money they horde for themselves.
@tonybeir That's a ridiculous statement. Stop feeling like a victim and hustle. You will never succeed if you believe that everyone is better than you!
@fergalbyrne I am very successful thank you very much I've worked at our family business since I was 16 and now I am in my mid 20s and about to take it over for my father, I pretty much run the thing on my own. I am in the brackets that benefit the most from tax cuts for the rich and I think it's wrong.
@tonybeir You confuse MONEY and WEALTH two tally different things if all money was distributed equally all it would mean is hyper inflation and lower Wealth for all. You need incentives for people to take risks, start companies and create wealth for everyone. Try reading some Milton Friedman Economics books. If your theory works how come the whole world is not like the soviet union was? or West Germany??? do your research.
@EpicSlug im not confusing money and wealth. Milton friedman is an idiot and it's a total myth that you need to allow people to accumulate enormous amounts of money in order to incentive them. You know nothing about my theory and the soviet union has nothing to do with my ideas... take your own advice and do some research yourself before you spew the same old cliches.
@tonybeir You say that it's immoral to accumulate a lot of money and that the gov't should do something to prevent that. I hope you realize that the role of government isn't to enforce morality (that would be the Dark Ages), but to protect our legal individual rights. Also, in your case, since you inherited your pap's company, getting rich might be genes, environment and luck. However, for most of us, there are a lot more variables.
Give me an example of a single one of the "lot more variables" that is actually something you caused and not a factor outside your control? Who decided individual rights should be protected? for what reason? what for? the answer to that is a moral question. America was founded largely on enlightenment morals. Sorry but any way you cut it it's all just a fluke and anyone who has 100x more than another needs to really good justification for such an obscene inequality.

@tonybeir SERIOUSLY! Are you a commie? You realize the economy would be in the crapper if that was true. There would be no companies to work for.
