It is insane. It is also insane that the system is so rigged in favor of wealth accumulation. An insane solution to an insane problem. I pay a lot in taxes, and I am good with that. I also give a fair bit away. The truth is I should make less, as should you.
- paulpauper 6y agobut living expenses are also very high, as is student loan debt and other recurring expenses
- Hnrobert42 6y agoWhat? I wasn’t advocating for people to make less than basic living expenses or to pay for education.
- BurningFrog 6y ago> The truth is I should make less, as should you. That some people make a lot of money is a good thing. The bad thing is those who make too too little money.
- ahelwer 6y agoThose things are linked. In our system, some people making a whole lot of money is predicated on others making too little money. I don't mean this in the zero sum sense. I mean that by far the most common way to make a lot of money in this country is by exploiting people.
- Hnrobert42 6y agoI agree with your bad thing. I disagree with your good thing.
- BurningFrog 6y agoIs this from a zero sum assumption? We can all get wealthier at the same time.
