@pluralZZ9 He's got a point. People shouldn't get good money they don't deserve.

As Meg said in A Wrinkle In Time, equal and alike are two different things.

@pluralZZ9 Why is being rich so much better than being poor.
Like you said rich people can do things that the poor person just can't afford.
Making something free won't help, because everything has a cost...its just a matter of who is going to pay.
In that regard there will always be inequality. Even if you get rid of the entire concept of "money" you will still have people with inate ability/skills/assets that will use them toward their advantage.

@feonjun your going to have explain that.
We do end up letting people who steal and kill out of prision. Not because they steal and kill better than us, but because they have years of time and access to a library and computers and teach themselves law. Since the police and the current system are not perfect, there is ample opportunity for those people to get out on technicalities.
And the wall street crooks probably already know these technicalities. Deal with that problem first.

@parsonman05 Income is what you get that for showing up for to a job and doing what you are hired to do, with the exception of commission and bonus, you can bank that money as long as you have that job. Investment return is different. Sure you can make a lot of intended money, but you can also walk away with a loss. Happens a lot. All these super investors that everyone is complaining about, they have all made multimillion dollar mistakes. Lose is just a probably as gain.

I agree that people should be able to earn what people are willing to pay them. But I also believe that these people should be taxed more. Pay scales make all the sense in the world. You're not going to take an equal amount of money of somebody that uses it to buy food than you would from somebody who needs it to buy a luxurious sports car. Food money has more relative value than sports car money.

@LalallaSN Multi-Billionaire don't create jobs they export.Small business create job in a country.The idea of the free market its Greed by a different name. Also it takes away from the humble tradition of doing business 1on1 to back alley style of sell anything at anyprice to make a quick buck at anyone cost.If a business is big enough to go global it should lose all tax loop holes

@TheChrisbulkley1980 do you think getting intent on money is an income ???
-
@marionetemanJ do you like to see people in pain and suffering ???
This guy just pull one over his supporter, and it shows how moronic anyone who buy into this crap. We are talking about being equal under the law, and the wall street crooks are using the laws to their advantage because they can buy it. According this his argument, we should let all criminals out of prison because they can steal from and kill people better than the rest of us.

Cmon Lee, you have to admit that the rich have an easier time with the executive, legaslative, and judicial systems because they're rich. They can campaign better through dollars, they have money to attend law schools, they have enough money to get better lawyers etc. This is why I sympathize with the 99% movement. If we can fix the inequality then we'll have a fairer system for everyon, not just the rich. But you won't change your mind because of a youtube comment so, really, this is frivolous.
