Reality check: wealthy people are not the reason you are poor
Wealth and success are not a zero sum game. Theirs does not take away from yours.
yeah. If you’re poor it has nothing to do with someone who is making 300x you not paying a living wage. You can actually just make money appear out of thin air. This is economics 101 smh liberals…
“Theirs does not take away from yours” it literally does. A dollar someone has is by definition a dollar someone else can not have. I cannot wrap my head around what OP is saying.
What part of “not a zero sum game” did you not understand? There isn’t a set amount of wealth in the world, new wealth is constantly being created and there’s no reason you can’t earn more than you have now. Stop making excuses for yourself and blaming others and go do something that will better your own life.

Trevor Noah Asks Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez How She Plans To Pay For Her Agenda And Her Answer Was Typical
Trevor Noah, host of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show,” asked Democratic socialist congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez how she plans to pay for her agenda Thursday and she said tax the rich and slash military spending.
Ocasio-Cortez began by bragging about her meeting with a Nobel Prize-winning economist and claimed her ideas could net the United States trillions of dollars.
“This is an excellent, excellent question,” she replied. “I sat down with a Nobel Prize economist last week — I can’t believe I can say that, it’s really weird — But one of the things that we saw is, if people pay their fair share, if corporations and the ultra wealthy — for example, as Warren Buffett likes to say, if he pays as much as his secretary paid, 15 percent tax rate, if corporations paid — if we reverse the tax bill, raised our corporate tax rate to 28 percent … if we do those two things and also close some of those loopholes, that’s $2 trillion right there.”
She also said it would take $3 trillion to $4 trillion and a carbon tax to create a “renewable energy economy” and claimed the Trump tax cut bill prevents the wealthiest Americans from paying “their fair share.”
“One of the wide estimates is that it’s going to take $3 trillion to $4 trillion to transition us to 100 percent renewable economy,” she continued.

It’s all buzzwords and nonsense. When you tax 3-4 trillion out of the economy everyone becomes a serf. Only the people like Warren Buffet and other masters of the universe retain their clout and economic position. This is why the uber rich champion bullshit like this.
The fallacy they’re falling for is that if you take all of that money away from people who are producing things, they will keep on producing. When the economy inevitably falls, taxes will have to go even higher, creating a spiral of increasing poverty and
destruction.
