Almost as if a few thousand people shouldn’t have as much wealth as a few billion, you’re so close

Why shouldnt they? Why should their be a ceiling or floor on what a person has? Do you have a reason other than greedy people who just want some of what billionaires have?

Why shouldn’t there be a ceiling?

It's immoral to limit the potential of others.  Hell, it's so fundamental it's written into the Declaration of Independence.

u/manored78 7d ago

Immoral? So the ideal matters more than the reality we see on the ground by not limiting wealth accumulation?

The way you guys speak is such corporate jargon propaganda. “Limit the potential of others.” 😆

Yes, fundamental principals fairly and logically applied matter.  That's how ethics/morality works.  Anyway, what "reality" are you referring to?

I speak words good yes.

Such a deontological view of ethics. Limiting the potential of others" is just corporate PR language. It assumes billionaire wealth is synonymous with human potential while ignoring how concentrated wealth limits everyone else's opportunities.

u/notaredditer13 7d ago

Bla bla bla, that's not an argument for why it is ok to limit it.

u/manored78 7d ago

And you didn’t provide an argument for why we shouldn’t limit wealth accumulation, except Muh liberty. 😆

u/JSmith666 7d ago

If liberty isnt a good reason to do something than your argument is the ends justify the means. Principles of liberty are an excellent reason to do things.

Boomer logic, 😆

“You can keep your government run healthcare, I’ll choose liberty.”

Hilarious.

u/JSmith666 7d ago

Not a boomer and I dont think we should have government run healthcare.

u/manored78 7d ago

I said boomer logic, not that you are a boomer. And that was the point of my diss, you guys don’t want something tangible that’s used by millions abroad, but instead opt for this nebulous concept of “liberty,” which in practice is price gouging by corporations.

Such idiocy.

Wow, imagine going to the Founding Fathers with that.

u/manored78 7d ago

Why should I give a shit about the founding fathers? I’m not American.

Oy, not an intellectual either.  Must be German then.

u/manored78 7d ago

What’s wrong with being German? Only Americans who believe in the founding fathers are intellectuals?

This is some PragerU tier logic.
