    But have you thought about the shareholders and the executives? They are the ones that really have it bad!

    If only those lazy poor people worked harder and pulled themselves up by this bootstraps.

    It’s not like we systemically work towards keeping them poor so we can have the power!

    Well, if you want to abolish currency, inheritance, and all personal property you may be far left. Otherwise you may just be a compassionate for the poor.

    Why is the proposed solution always to just pay people more and not just make things cost less? The only reason I can find is that making things cost less doesn’t provide a scapegoat for everybody to rally behind, even though it would be more effective.

    I used to be that guy the first 28 years of my life. Then I realized many so called socialist gvt are backed up by the biggest monopolies, which in turn grow freely thanks to socialist unbalanced rules of competitiveness.

    It’s cool to think socialist. It’s not cool to feed the monopoly.
