It trickles down, right?

I was right.

Way overdue - We Need to institute a "wealth tax" - AND a "Maximum Income" .. Just like "minimum wage" in concept.. Income from ALL sources.. The 'Rest' is the 'Feds & States' to use.. Hey, these guys & gals can become true heroes - philanthropists - albeit involuntary.. Name parks and such after them!! Even paid public holidays - like "Voters Day".. How much does one man really need to live "very well"? Not to take motivation away for those who work hard to get to live better. Just put rational limits on the whole picture - at the top & bottom level.. A billion is def way way way to much for one person.. Def Needs to measured in millions - not tens or hundreds of millions... Not to mentions Corporations; a minimum based on both % of gross revenue and % of net revenue.. Get credit for "spreading the wealth" to the lower tier workers, and penalised for the paying exec's high..

Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.
Acts 4:32

If your aim is to destroy the country, those are excellent ideas. Most major companies in the country would depart to sane countries, as would the executives and top employees of those companies. "Let's see here, I can have 5 million (though that too will eventually be too much) if I stay here, or I can have 10 billion if I go to the Bahamas." Guess which choice I will make. With all due respect, your proposal is pure idiocy. If people at the bottom want to get ahead, they can work hard and earn it. Stealing from someone else will not help them in the long run.

That's why the struggle of the working class is international in character. There can be no hiding place for those who would steal the wealth produced by labor.
We have to make sure that you would not be safe in the Bahamas or anywhere else. Maybe Russia, ironically.

Well it is a moot point. Ain't going to happen here anytime soon. Even the leftist lunatics know better than to try that. Even if they did, Atlas would shrug.

There was a time when no one could imagine a world without a monarchy either.

There was a time when people thought having a businessman for president was a good idea.

I was right.

17th and 18th Century England, France, and such were far superior economic systems to modern liberal democracies. That's the real Again part of MAGA.

Might be if he actually studied and properly applied economics and hadn't bankrupted everything he ever touched or tried to create. His only success was playing a business man on a show that he did not write or produce and laundering money for mobsters through his real estate.

Unbridled capitalism is problematic in concept and as a reality - The need for a 'bit' & 'bridle' is more than obvious.. The effects of Covid on the masses compared to the 1% (not 0.1%) is making that fact more obvious.. Another severe round of of foreclosures are inevitable - but for different reasons than in '08/09.. this time it's people who have equity but no job.. tpap, you may want to skip town with your loot while you can.. moma russia is calling.. "tpap,, tpap - where are you?

Yeah, it created more wealth than any other economic system before or since. There are always going to be bums in a rich society. By and large, it is their choice. They can live a good life by sponging off the labor of others. But they are not an indictment of the capitalist system. They are just bums. If need be, I will hit the road. For the time being, however, there is no need to go anywhere.
