What is fundamentally wrong with Bill Gates earning and having that much more than others is that he has, in reality, proportionally more power. That isn't democracy in the end.
- chii 6y ago> in reality, proportionally more power. That isn't democracy in the end. someone who is a very well versed orator and public speaker, can also have a disporportionate power, by convicing people of his point of view. But in a democracy, everyone still only have one vote, and bill gates' vote is just as valid as yours. Compared that to the old days, where if you weren't born nobility, you do not get a say in affairs that affects you. I think people here commenting or lamenting, does not appreciate what the _actual_ natural state of things are, and how much worse it could be.
- guerrilla 6y agoJust because it could be worse and can't be perfect doesn't mean it can't or shouldn't be better.
