It's interesting how your argument insists on collapsing this issue into a black and white issue: it's the elites whining and not in any way about entrepreneurs

It's interesting how your argument insists on collapsing this issue into a black and white issue: it's the elites whining and not in any way about entrepreneurs. And yet the only evidence you provide is one or two quotes where the article talks about the anti-wealth sentiment. Fun fact: an appreciation of wealth-generation is absolutely necessary and goes hand in hand with encouragement of entrepreneurship. Follow the incentives.

>It's interesting how your argument insists on collapsing this issue into a black and white issue: it's the elites whining and not in any way about entrepreneurs. Right, because none of the issues presented in the article were actually ABOUT the problems entrepreneurs face. Did it mention fundraising? No. Did it mention hiring? No. Did it mention anything about gaining traction? No. Did it mention anything about finding a mentor? No. Did it mention something about how the proles were getting uppity about the rich needing to pay more taxes? Hell yea. Learn to read between the lines. >Fun fact: an appreciation of wealth-generation is absolutely necessary and goes hand in hand with encouragement of entrepreneurship. Follow the incentives. Neither fun nor a fact. My incentive is to be my own boss, not to one day become a billionaire asshole like Eric Schmidt. If I were making a million dollars a year I'd be fine with being taxed at 75%.
