Sure, I've actually got nothing against rich people or even the idea of super rich people.
But the whole system is set up in such a way that if you're wealthy you own the world and have to actively screw up to not get wealthier. The system just needs a tiny self-correction mechanism.
And the problem with immense wealth is not raising inflation or anything like that, that is market stuff that will correct itself.
The problem is buying your way into policy control, and people/corporations that are so powerful that not even the law dares touch them.
- rstupek 8y agoRobert Kraft may have to disagree with you on your last assertion that the law can't touch rich people.
- moccachino 8y agoThe law won't touch rich people where they care, their money. Why are there still tax havens? Why do corporations still make special tax exemption deals? Why are tax loopholes not as aggressively fought as drug smuggling? And even the case you linked to, very wealthy people are much less likely to be charged with these kinds of crime as well.
