Wealth distribution

[Husar]

Back at ya, what is your justification for wanting their money?

Back at ya, what is their justification for wanting my money? You are aware that the wealth gap is getting wider because money is actually "trickling up", right? If it weren't then the wealth gap wouldn't get wider...

Do I want your money, never noticed it.

[Montmorency]

Do I want your money

!

So Mr. Above-average, I heard you were single...

[Husar]

Depends on which side of the wealth gap you're on.

Well I am not on that side, far from it. I can manage.

[HoreTore]

It's not about "wanting anyones money", Frags.

It's about who gets what from the new money produced. Ie. making a model where you get a share reflecting the work you put in. We are not even close to that today. I don't get a share comparable to my effort, I get loads more than what I actually put in compared to effort and share of Joe Indiaman.

Why should I do less and earn more at the same time?

[Sarmatian]

Frags, you missed the point entirely. It's not about hating the rich for being rich.

The issue is that the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a very few people and they're using that to change the system. Gradual change to allow them to become even wealthier and wield even more influence.

That kind of system is unfair and is a threat to democracy in the long run.

Perhaps. But there are some more pressing matters.

Like, for example...?

New series of Kardashians? What, where, when???
