Ah, word salad. The interweb equivalent of nonsensical jabbering when trying to evade the truth.
how did Trump and republican congress get elected then?
AND, China is doing EVERYTHING with U.S. dollars..... All seem to forget that if it were not for U.S. dollars China would be a third-world country. The United States has and STILL contributes BILLIONS annually to this communist farce of a self-supporting nation.
Most sociological studies agree that a huge disparity in wealth between members of a society is a bad thing that can lead to internal conflicts. That has played out in history more than once. It has worked here so far because we all have "stuff".
That said, taxing isn't the way to go because these people will simply move to New Zealand or wherever and continue on. Also, the common man will always shoulder the majority of the burden of paying the country's bills. There simply aren't enough billionaires to cover the costs.
The only way to really close the gap is to enforce anti monopoly laws and make companies compete. There will still be billionaires but it will be much harder to achieve and sustain because these people tie all their wealth to their multiple companies. Then you must get money out of politics so that those with the money can't do something like, I don't know, buy a presidency.
For some reason, I really do not doubt that is happening, or will happen...
Some people choose to not have money but rather spend every last penny. How do you fix that stupidity, genius? You could give that 33% to the bottom 50% & within 10 years the top 1% would have it back. You really think that if you gave $100K or $500K to every adult on welfare that they'd have any of it in 3 years? Absurd thought. The only way to fix this is to assure everyone has nothing.
Good overall post.
But to be clear, taxing anything is a disincentive to accumulate it.
It's easy to go with the physicists over this opinion. I mean look who the physicists are opposed by.
Good grief. You're smarter than this.
Buyers aren't going to pay more for apartment buildings because rents are up due to more taxes because they are smart enough to know those taxes come out of their rent collections such that there is no added net value to them. I've been there. It ain't hard.
Is there a limit where you'd say it's no longer good? Like let's say the top 1% controls 99% of the wealth. Would you say, "yep, free market!"?
Those are called property taxes or wealth taxes. Who is going to decide everything's value each year?
Well the constitutionality of some of those pardons themselves should be in question. such as those pre-emptive pardons for crimes they have not been prosecuted for yet.
I just want to know how much of their wealth is OK for the Government to confiscate?
Maybe the federal government shouldn’t be giving so many goddam contracts.
Just eliminate the federal government and we can stop talking about confiscating private property.

Sounds like shit Hitler would do.
That "wealth control" argument has been a staple for socialists and extreme radical leftists for many years when they have gripes against the current economic situation. When the economy is going well, you never hear about it, nor is it relevant to anything in the day to day activities of the business world.
Step 1 is making small steps in getting big money out of politics.
We'll see it pop up more soon.
People already feel left behind with how expensive housing or education is.
AI is gonna eliminate some job functions completely.
Gonna have to figure out someway to rebuild the middle class, because currently it's been getting f'ed for a long time.
Yeah buddy.
Government has become a total slush fund con game.
I'm sure nothing came back around the horn to Andy the dandy.
You know damn well I'm not a socialist. I do think that looking at various ratios is important. I think monopolies are often dangerous. The fact you didn't answer my question is telling.
He's been know to, and got caught for, handing out a few suitcases full of the green stuff also.
Seems like they are in the right place to bust that ass for the houthis.
Like every other situation, until it happens to you and yours, it's just not possible for the cognitive dissonance to be broken. It's completely unassailable. I'm thankful to God that my cognitive dissonance was shattered very early in life and hasn't been rebuilt. I look at everything now at face value (objectively) rather than assuming or trusting ANYTHING based on any number of fallacies people might throw out there to try to convince me.

France "wants the Statue of Liberty back..." lmao! The country that fkd over their entire ag industry and took away their rights wants a statue ? Priceless stupidity. Ah, the French...
Shows clearly that lower & middle choose not to save. How do you propose to change their minds?Besides the fact that the top 10% are the ones doing all the spending, this...
Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues.
Proverbs 17:28
Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble.
Proverbs 21:23
To add to what I posted earlier about cognitive dissonance-
WAITING on information or going out and getting information, rather than jumping to a spoonfed conclusion without evidence or understanding is key, but there are some things that only God can reveal through His spirit to people with a heart after His. The things about which we as believers are given understanding is not because of our righteousness or wisdom, but because of His great mercy and faithfulness.
Most of what I know is because He has put me in a position to understand the deception beforehand, in the moment, or afterward. I just have to be patient and not lean on my own heart/understanding. He gives proofs of what He reveals.

It's common knowledge that practically every university in the country went full "woke" and discriminated against whites and asians alike in favor of lesser qualified applicants.
We voted to end DEI, because at it's core it's nothing more than reverse discrimination. The applicant who has the most experience and knowledge should get the job, regardless of race, but DEI discriminates against whites and asians, even if they ARE the best candidate.
I seriously doubt the people doing actual research will be affected; they will find waste in other areas to cope with the loss of funding.
