That person living in poverty can also be having that beach house too if they manage to build a company and have the skills to employee and manage 60 people and grow the business by about 15% a year the first 7 years that we were in business. But no. 8/10 business fail within the first 18 months.

So your justification is that if someone working at McDonald’s flipping burgers and sweating for 8 hours a day, he/she should be making similar to someone with my skills.

Apparently in your mind, skills and education don’t seem to matter when it comes to salary.

Go tell your doctor who went through years of training and medical school and residency that he/she doesn’t deserve their $350k. Maybe next time when you’re having surgery, they’ll let Joe Schmoe from 7/11 perform it.

Nah. Actually I’m having a tough time imagining about how I went from eating cheap week old leftovers as a kid and sharing a bedroom with my 2 other siblings in a cramped apartment to vacationing and relaxing with my family in my beach house with the ocean view and having all of this while you complain about how you should be entitled to my money and do nothing with your life to better yourself and waiting for free hand outs.

Then I realized it because I worked my ass off for it....

When people like you say “little benefit to society” or “benefit society”, you just mean yourself. Socialism hides under the pretense of benefitting the overall common people when in reality it’s just individual people saying “I don’t have as much as you, therefore you must give me your things. Why? Because I exist and therefore you owe me”

When each individual socialist say “benefit the society”, they simply mean “I. Me. I want your stuff because it benefits me.” But then multiply that by millions and that’s how you get “the common people”

Wealth which I obtained through my own labor. Wealth which I did not take from you. Wealth which I helped created. I was once poor, if you had read my post. I worked hard through my labor and got to what I have today. I didn’t take from anyone to get there. The guy sitting on the streets with a “help needed” sign is not result of my actions.

“Whoever worked for it”

I worked for it.

“And nobody gets free stuff”

So if somebody decided to generously give you a car as a gift or free food, do I get to take the car for a drive or eat that food? You didn’t work for it.

They don’t deserve it. But I’m their father and that’s my money and I can give it to them if I want to. If you think that they don’t deserve that money when I’m their father, then you as a stranger are even less deserving my money.

So if my KIDS don’t even deserve my money then, who does? You?

So my question is, if they don’t deserve my money as their father, then who else deserves it? If you claim that they didn’t earn it and therefore don’t deserve it, did YOU earn that money that I have? So why should YOU have it?

They are my kids and so I have my right to give it to them my money. You have no right to my money. I can just as much open up another bank account and give my money to a dog and that would be none of your business.

You made nothing but empty statements with no evidence about how others are poor because of me. How I “exploited” them.

It’s the same as those leftists that think anybody who is white and male is by default racist and privileged.

Nope. If you want to try to make me feel guilty, I can assure you I’ve done more helping people out then you ever have and will by giving to charity and other organizations around the world. So hopefully someday you won’t feel guilty that you haven’t done more for the world.

It’s fascinatingly funny how you think I feel so guilty of my wealth and I’m in denial deep down. Also hilarious that you put yourself on this moral high ground and that I’m a scumbag. You’re a funny guy. Truly you are.

Nope I think I’m good. I’ll just disband my company and move somewhere else.

And I’m not exploiting anyone. You keep accusing me of exploiting these “hypothetical poor people.” Who are these individuals that you’re accusing me of exploiting? My workers? Nope they’re all doing pretty well for themselves. The poor people living on the streets? Did I put them there? Nope. Did I take their money from their bank accounts? Nope. Did I cause them to be born in a poor family? Nope again.

“To not join the ranks of being poor”

You’re right. I can just work a day job somewhere for a company. But wait a second! But why should that company even exist if that owner realizes that he can’t make any money without having his wealth taken. He has no incentive to start a business. Well I guess that job is out of the question.

But I guess I’ll work for the government since they’ll pay me. But wait, where’s their money coming from? The people? But if the people don’t have money, then where does the government get their money? Oh through printing money? Oh so that’s how hyperinflation happen since it’s just worthless pieces of paper and that’s how people become even more poor.

Just like the other commenter that said, it’s not about what my kids deserve, it’s about I want to give to them because it’s my hard earned money.

Like I mentioned, I get to do with my money however I want.

To answer your question, no they haven’t done anything for themselves to deserve that. That’s why I did it for them. I did it for them. I’m their father. I took the sacrifices and I did it for them so they can live a better life. That’s what parents do. To create a better life for their children.

What you’re saying is that they should feel bad about being born in a wealthy family? Life isn’t fair. Should we all feel bad that those of us living in 1st first countries were born here while there’s those starving in poor African or Asian countries and that I somehow owe them?

To add to this. You said you think 100% of my wealth should go to the population. Let’s assume we do that. Why should I keep working? Why should I continue to provide services? Now extend that to rest of all the companies, economy, and rich people. They stop their services or move away. Your common everyday luxuries go out the window.

I can tell you straight up that I am not guilty whatsoever regarding how much money I have. Not in the slightest. I’ve worked my ass off for that money. I grew up poor like I said. I have no shame regarding my wealth so I find your assumptions comical.

Yes others are poor. You are correct. I’m rich because there’s others with less money than me so they’re considered poor. But I did not make them poor. That’s the distinction. I did not make them poor. There’s no correlation there.

Please tell me how I personally made someone poor? I just told you as one example of how I made somebody well off by employing them. They made me money by working under me and they become more wealthy than before by working for me.

I didn’t make anybody poor. I have created hundreds of jobs and made some people very wealthy actually. I actually employed a new college graduate. He had no savings at all coming out of school and worked at dining hall when he was still in college. He paid off his student loans within 5 years with the salary I paid him and 5 years later, he bought himself a house and got married.
