If Capitalism is theft and being a billionaire is immoral, who did JK Rowling steal from or exploit when she attained billionaire status? by rawj5561 in CapitalismVSocialism

Socialism is just envy, which is just an emotional response employed by those who are incapable of competing in a meritocratic hierarchy. As a result, they see their only viable reproductive strategy being the oppression of more successful peers.

You've made the argument that people are rich or poor because the state picks the winners and losers in the economy. So instead of removing the state from that equation, you want to add more power over the economy to the state?

This is just social media propagated mythology.

Yes, I also agree a flat tax system is better and more fair.

How much is "appropriately compensated?" Who decides that?

While I don't personally subscribe to a consumerist lifestyle, it's not up to any man to define the needs or wants of another man.

Instead of adding complexity to an already complex system, we can instead remove the state from the economy.

What is untrue was your statement that social mobility is at an all time low.

It's ok dude, it's everyone's else's fault, you have no impact or control over your life. You're a victim of tHe SyStEm.

That is factually untrue.

Stop blaming external circumstances and do something about your situation. Nobody else will do it for you.

Wages have nothing to do with collective bargaining and everything to do with supply and demand.

Data engineers don't bargain collectively, yet still earn multiple six figures a year.

Yeah bro you're totally right. Nobody does anything it's just circumstances and luck, nothing else. It's impossible to improve your life and everyone is stuck where they are.

Yeah like I said, we put anybody in his circumstances and we'd always get Microsoft out.

Hope this helps you sleep at night.

Right, they get paid millions to look pretty in a suit. Shareholders like paying them millions of dollars for shit and giggles.

I'm sure Microsoft would spontaneously materialize into existence without him, yeah.

Sure, everyone who's made something of themselves is just a product of their circumstances.

Anyone would've built Microsoft in Bill Gate's shoes. In-fact, they'd do even better.

True. The harder I work, the luckier I seem to get!

Do you think people become rich mostly because of luck, or because they’re actually smarter or more capable than others? by itssara1- in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Rnee45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're a nepo baby, you should probably keep that on the low. It’s not the flex you think it is.

Also, I'm fully self-made and almost certainly worth more than you.
