Just a reminder, wealth is **not** a zero sum game. If it were we would still be living in caves.

@freemo

in this game there's always new pie beeing created and the rich fags get their fingers on them first when they are still fresh and warm !

@mk There is no claim here that there arent issues that are unfair in the economy.. but the simple existence of rich people is not a red flag.

@freemo

"wealthy people having money doesn not mean there's less money for you."

1. wealthy people control the monetary system

2. wealthy people print money

3. printing money decreases the value of money

4. if the wage of ordinary people doesn't rise with inflation, they got less purchasing power...or simple..less money.

Ok, 4 points that have nothing to do with the fact I stated, and doesnt change the fact that what I said is true.

To your 4 points I am not saying they arent real concerns, they are conversations in and of themself worth having.. But you, as people often do, are blinded by trying to argue "Wealthy people are bad" which just pushes you onto unrelated topics since my argument is not "wealthy people are good".
