Arthur Morgan Take a look at LASIK eye surgery. It’s one of the operations not governed under the socialized health care system.

Funny how things become cheaper yet still higher quality in free markets, and that socialist countries stagnate.

Arthur Morgan also, before you reply with the Nordic Country socialism, we’ve been the ones paying their defense budget for the past couple years now, because they can’t afford it.

Alien Soup Not really. The government cannot create the value that the billion dollars represents. When they overprint a billion dollars in paper money, they’re still not creating value, but are actually stealing value from people through devaluation of the currency.

[@SuperSupermanX1999]

@Boogey Man That's not her argument, and I don't think anyone has ever said that. The argument is that Bill Gates does not work for his money, which is true. He does do some work, but it is utterly incidental to his finances. If he sat on his butt for the past ten years his wealth would have continued to rise at the exact same rate, since his money comes from the fact that he owns the company. Other people at Microsoft build computers and create new innovations and Bill Gates takes a cut because he's the owner. The fact that he did some great work coding and selling computers thirty years ago doesn't change this fact. And it doesn't change the fact that his wealth continues to rise while a lot of the people who actually do the work at Microsoft today see their wages stagnate and have to rely on government assistance in order to pay rent and feed themselves, since Gates and the other owners would rather line their own pockets than sufficiently pay the people who put them where they are. Microsoft depends on these employees, and would never have become what it is today without them, but apparently that's not enough to warrant Bill Gates and co paying these people enough to survive. You don't have to hate the rich, or think they're lasy, in order to find this kind of system morally objectionable.

[@SuperSupermanX1999]

@Boogey Man I mean, he literally doesn't work for it. His wealth and income is not dependant upon him going into Microsoft and doing something productive. He can sit at home and play Fortnight and his net worth will continue to rise at the same rate. You can argue that he deserves his wealth due to risk (although I'd still disagree) but you can't seriously claim that in 2020 Bill Gates works for his income. Bernie Sanders personally giving more money in taxes would not solve any of the problems that he wants to deal with. It would be a completely meaningless gesture. The problems in society can only be solved by pooling our collective wealth together, which is what he wants to do. I can also guarantee that he currently pays a higher percentage in tax than any of the billionaires you are currently defending.

[@joeregan63]

Boogey Man what’s amazing is that Bill gates has generally aligned with the left (well, center-left, let’s be fair) on the issues. I think guys like him underrate how much they hate him, and overrate how capable they are of doing anything besides getting other people’s money. At least Andrew Yang proposes some real policy prescriptions, unless the rest of these clowns.

She thinks business owners sit on the couch and do nothing while workers work?

[@warren286]

It's successful businessmen and women who create the job opportunities for the majority of the citizens. If you drive them out with high taxes and over regulation, you will be destroying job opportunities, thus less workers with good income, thus less sources of tax revenue from said workers. This is basic macro economics...

[@AnthonyGonzalez-gx6ht]

Unfortunately this nnation needs hard times to bring all the men back to set things right.

[@707Iz]

The problem is those "job opportunities" dont pay a living wage anymore and everything gets more expensive overtime while wages do not increase. But yet the 1% see record growth.

[@mattiOTX]

@@707Iz that's what happens when you constantly increase the supply pool of labor. It drives wages down. Then couple that with high tax rates on everything and the lowee income people dont make a profit at all. In Texas 10 dollars an hour depending on where you live can cover rent and bills with food. Money will be tight but we don't tax the shit out of the people. We actually dont even have personal income taxes. We run the state off of business taxes.

No, elon and jeff would agree. because their intelligence is incredible enough to put them on the left. you really think what elon is doing is a million times more valuable than what a social worker is doing? Imagine a one-billion person left the market, and instead thousands of other workers who total one billion value entered. in what situation would the economy thrive more? Aside from being immoral in my subjective view, it's absolutely detrimental to the economy in the objective view of real economists. this "rich people fuel economies" shit is old and debunked, pundits like ben shapiro hope people don't listen to ACTUAL economists but to him instead.
