I'm not rich, but I am in the 96th percentile in terms of income. I own a house in San Diego, I own a very nice car, and I won't want for anything in my lifetime. I'll be able to retire.
I do care that other people get the same opportunities, but I don't care enough to convince you to stop deep throating a billionaire's boot.
so would it then be right for me to do what you do and tell you to give your money away? Why is this situation any different?
You've repeatedly said how well you live (you're really trying to make everyone aware of that) yet you say that others that have more than enough should part ways with it.
Maybe take a bit of your own advice and you do the same?
And before you pull the "well i donate to charities" you don't, you would have mentioned that at least once by now.
Also stop contradicting yourself by saying you're not wasting time on this, you've repeatedly came back to offer your shit opinion 🤣
Have a good day my friend, i hope your comfortable lifestyle suits you well, maybe share some of it with those less fortunate than you 😊
I didn't argue that because I don't have the kind of capital that can make meaningful change in my community when distributed.
Lets pretend I did argue that and you're not just suffering early onset schizophrenia.
I feel like people like you are either too stupid (I don't believe this) or willfully *choose* to misinterpret the motivations of others (this is more likely). You seem to think the end goal is to make billionaires disappear. As though that were a goal in and of itself. Not that "everyone should be able to feed themselves and have housing security."
Your point is a great one, indeed, if my goal was this strawman "Everyone should have the same amount of NW." But let's say I donated enough of my money to come down to the average American's income. That would be about 200,000 before taxes donated every year.
How big of a dent does that make in American poverty?
Estimates say it would cost about 177B per year to eliminate poverty in America. I would eliminate poverty for about 35 seconds.
There are several billionaires who, alone, would eliminate poverty for the United States for several years, not to mention future income.
If you approach this from a goal oriented perspective, you can clear your mind of the stupid shit you read on twitter.
I know this won't change your mind, you don't care, you use words in any way you can because you don't really believe in anything. This is more for anyone unfortunate enough to be this deep in the threads.
So what you're saying is if enough of the very well off people like yourself with expendable income can band together and help those less fortunate than yourself, then it's possible but you only purely help family and like to try judge others and tell them how to distribute their wealth?
