Money hoarding is glorified...every cent over a 10 million net worth should be taxed at 90%...only money invested in creating new jobs should be exempt from tax...

I'm 100% all for capitalism
![]() There will always be someone at the top no matter how the system is skewed. My problem with this is their big multi national corporations that stunt the growth of others by patent hoarding, patent troll suing & slap lawsuits to bankrupt startups. When you abuse the legal system and use your money to keep the patent system broken, that's not capitalism that's corruption. |

Uh... there's no such thing as "money hoarding". Where do you think all that money is? Under a pillow? it's in the banking system. It's in the global financial system. It's the home loans, the car loans, the construction loans, the business loans, it's funding the growth and development of the areas it touches. It's in the financial system... not buried in a forest.
Quite bizarre that you "agree 100%" with a guy dispensing economic opinions,... who's "wealth" is best measured in grains of rice, goats and chickens.

in a system where funds are democratically allocated banks would be prohibited from printing money out of thin air for real estate speculators...the money belongs to EVERYBODY not just the elite and EVERYBODY has the right to decide how THEIR money will be spent... the current financial system is a "Bro club"...enjoy the next financial crisis and remember that my balls will be resting on your forehead at that moment ![]() btw I am not talking about cash just so your simple brain understands...I am talking about total net value in all possible ways... |

![]() Putting that money in investment funds is investing in American businesses, it's not like it's just sitting in an interest-bearing account that's doing nothing but giving money for the bank to loan. |

there is no reason to support people who feel they need 200million$ yachts...it would be easy to enforce, people would say that billionaires would go abroad but if they want to sell in the USA they have to comply to the 10mil rule....if not they are free to fuck off...also there would have to be a min % tax based on sales in that country...no excuse... the system would work fine but this would weaken mega corporations with huge interests...it would give rise to a very strong middle class...it would lead to democracy LOL |

In this brave new world our politicians are creating for us. Will the average man be better off or worse off?
Well let's look at the last 20 years for some clues. |

No I pulled the number out of my ass
According to Investopedia https://www.investopedia.com/article...cent-world.asp It's $32,400 a year or $89 a day, make that and your in the top 1% of worldwide income earners. If you remove western countries from the equation.. then its back around a dollar. To crack the top 1% in the USA you to make $421,926. |

What would you rather have socialism or communism? I agree it's rigged but if you're smart enough you can play in the game too. I'd rather have this rigged system than a communist or socialist one, wouldn't you?

Capitalism is not about the "bro club" and a fair capitalist economy is not the same as socialism...

I know they system is somewhat rigged but you'll never get anything perfect. it is what it is. If you work hard, have some brains and you're persistent, you can not only make it, but be very successful. I think you see a lot of "downtrodden" brown people here in poverty and think it's the rigged system and evil whitey at work here, but it has to do with people that simply cannot function in 1st world societies. Yeah the system isn't perfect, but it's not broken. Please show me where in history have people been better off with socialism or communism rather than capitalism |

To me it's the government providing decent levels of healthcare, education, policing, housing for the poor, welfare for the dispossessed, pollution control, environmental issues, etc. With a bit of publicly owned utilities like electricity, water, trains. Because big monopolies can't be trusted to look after anyone but themselves. |

And what if you're not smart enough, education wasn't good enough, you won't work for the rates illegal immigrants will or even if you're poisoned by some company throwing it's waste into the rivers or seas?

https://www.bestproducts.com/fun-thi...es-to-live-in/ These lists prove you wrong. The problem is with so much wealth in the hands of so few, they wield too much political power. Power over taxation systems, the ability to hire people to avoid paying taxes, to avoid employing people, to move jobs out of the West into Third World countries, but tax avoidance is top of the list. If they don't pay, you have to. https://www.google.com/search?ei=nSd....1l8cV oTOw0I Or the country sinks into a sea of debt. |
