The planet does not produce economic output, individuals do. In totally free market everyones output would be proportional to his work x talent x luck. The market is not free and the rules are skewed but that does not mean inequality is on its own bad or that we should eat the rich. You still have democracy, you may blame the rich but in fact 60% of voters don't even bother to come (and most of those who do agree with tax cuts for the rich anyway).
- Frondo 12y agoIndividuals alone do not produce economic output. They always rely on people all around them who engage with them, the people who came before them that built up the pool they're swimming in, the people all around them who maintain the pool today... That doesn't diminish any individual's own effort; but to ignore the world around any successful person, when talking about their success, is a little nonsensical.
