We need to redistribute the wealth to make it fair for everyone. Just hear me out for a moment. The whole world is full of hate and greed and envy. Everyone wants to out preform everyone else and this creates problems and anger. All of these problems could be fixed if the world's wealth and resources were divided evenly.
I work in heavy construction for a living and lift rebar. I do some of the hardest work anyone could ever imagine. My back is starting to give out on me and I can't help but think there are people who bought Amazon or google Stocks years ago and are making mullions and billions sitting on their fucking ass. How is that fair exactly? It's not.
You should be paid the same as everyone else so that everyone can have it fair.
Thomas Myers
Communism should be a capital crime.

This isn't a problem if you're not a cuck.

Soon the time will come to seperate the parasitic class from the fruits of our labor
Christian Evans
FUCK OFF AM TOO BUSY LINKING THAT MONEY LINKMARINES
Logan Bennett
hate greed and envy are part of the human condition it is going to be a long time until we develop past that forcing it will never hold it must be something that is grown into stop being a commie whats that quote, if you're not a leftist when you're a kid you have no heart, if you're not right wing when you're older you have no brain
Jack Williams
work smart, not hard you retard
Luke Wright
I fucking like your style user.
Lincoln Williams
Should of thought a bit more about doing a shitty job.
Juan Garcia
>We need to redistribute the wealth to make it fair for everyone.
OP You are a brainlet.
Let me explain this for you.
Lets say you took all of the wealth from the top 1000 richest people on earth and you divided it amongst everyone else.
It would ONLY cause massive inflation and prices will adjust to the level they were at before, meaning NOBODY is better off. The working class consumes 99% of all consumer goods. You can't get more than is virtually EVERYTHING!!
You don't understand how money or wealth works. This is the MAIN fallacy in socialism.
I hope you understand how retarded your idea is now.
Alexander Wood
>We need to redistribute the wealth can't trust the government to do that bud give the government that kind of power and its going to fuck you. don't be naive. government can't be trusted with the powers it has right now, and you want a new even more powerful government? you really don't want that
Oliver Cox
lol you r dumb
Wyatt Walker
Ok. Let's start with you. The average laborer in Ethopia makes $.33 a day. Go ahead and redistribute your wealth.
Owen Perez
this commie faggots BTFO
Jaxon Myers
the problem is democracy and with it coming the durst of everyone for money and freedom to do whatever he wants. this is what brought up this system. want a change? abolish democracies, find a worthy monarch. (sergey for my part) otherwise, tyranny will be upon us soon. this may change this too
Chase Turner
Communism isn't the way, but we do need a way to redestribute the wealth of the world. It's fucked that over half of the worlds population lives on less than $3 a day, and in the US, the Walton family owns more than the poorest 40% of the population, which they got by fucking over as many people as they possibly could.
Overthrowing government to do it isn't right, but just letting it be is just fucked.
Henry Walker
checked and kek'd

There's a name for this.

gommunism is retarded but ancap is autistic, and retarded too
Leo Reyes
Im already having fantasies about breaking into peoples homes and murding them and taking their shit Im so fucking depressed and sick of being poor I want the world to go into a recession, rich fucker blood will fill the streets and im going to fire the first shot
Jose Kelly
redistribution of wealth doesn't have to mean even distribution to all citizens, you fucking brainlet. if you're to actually make a difference, you tax the richest of rich (what the .1% to do even with a quarter of their money? they couldn't spend it if they tried), then you create institutions that help people get on their feet, and help those who are on their feet to get even better lives.
Ethan Hernandez
>what the .1% to do even with a quarter of their money? they couldn't spend it if they tried Holy shit you are retarded. Do you think the rich just keep their wealth in giant gold bars in a vault?
Dominic Sanders
i didnt mean that literally. of course they buy houses, cars, hookers and blow, but they could live their lives without 12 condos and a gold-plated lamborghini.
Ian Foster
dude, your monarch will be corrupted, or his staff corrupted. fuck the elites could just fucking clone and replace your monarch with demonic powers, ok maybe not. but he wont live forever and theres no guarantee his replacement wont be shit. don't even bother. we tried monarchies for thousands of years and it sucked. decentralize alongside the vision of the founding fathers for strong local governments and a greatly reduced in power and size federal government. 1776 will commence again. it took over a century to corrupt last time, this time we'll be ready. the constitution needs to be the highest law in the land, not some corruptible man, no man is worthy of that much power.
Cameron Scott
I agree, I hate unintelligent Bernie Bros and socialism but there are ways to reduce wealth inequality without sacrificing wealth creation. If your interested in market solutions for inequality check out Henry George, and his Progress and Poverty. Ancaps and anyone who supports Austrian economics needs to learn some basic econ. Not using empirical studies and basing your whole economic system on deduction and "praxeology" is retarded.
Anthony Gomez
you're right. Most of that wealth sits in the financial market, creating absolutely no value for society whilst simultaneously screwing over the common man. Rent seeking at its finest
Blake Jenkins
Commies don't believe in equal distribution of wealth or income. They believe in equal distribution based upon work. I don't think you're a real commie, I think you're a Bernie Sanders shill. With that said, communism is shit, however, as a former communist I understand your rhetoric and I understand when you're being sincere and when you're trying to subvert in one form or another.
Brandon Anderson
I agree, I think his position comes from good intentions, better then most morally corrupt neo-cons.
Dominic Morgan
>Wealth distributed evenly >hard working people eventually acquire more wealth >Wealth isn't even anymore

Jayden Rodriguez
How would the government taking some of this money and funneling it towards jobs programs help people?
It would be better if the money was left in the hands of people that create jobs I the first place
Brainlet
Robert Robinson
maybe if you had worked harder when you were in school you wouldnt have dropped out of high school and would have gone to college and would have gotten a better job and would have had money to be able to risk in stocks like amazon and google to make yourself rich instead of being a wage cuck
Grayson White
The money is used to create what the common man demands. Really makes you think.
Carter Hughes
I think the point he's making is that people are not properly payed for their contribution to society. Hardworking teachers do arguably more but are criminally underpayed in the U.S
Matthew Ross
boohoo? What decides which work is valuable? You? me? I let the market decide.
Evan Myers
Who thinks teachers are underpaid? They should do something else if they want more money
Henry Walker
Taking their lambos away from them will not help you whatsoever Brainlet
Money that is not spent lowers the price of all other money in the economy and the working class benefits from this
Brainlet
Cooper Mitchell
He tried to fix this shit, getting rid of both commies and caps insects, and you launched a war against him to protect (((them))). Study the ideology, really deep. It really solves all these problems in the most logical way, though some may not like it, it has to be done
Lucas Sanders
Lol the old trickle down "rich people create jobs" meme. Demand always come first, a business isn't created unless there is demand not the other way around. Trickle down doesn't work, get over it.
Christopher Garcia
But people are lazy, who's gonna do hard dirty work nobody wants to?
Jaxon Murphy
>Everyone wants to out preform everyone else
Yes, this is what drives society and progress.
Ian Davis
Redistribution doesn't work. It never has and never will. No amount of taking money from the rich and giving it to the average or the poor will ever make these people rich, because the moment the average or the poor get some money, they give it straight back to the rich, for the same reason that the rich became rich in the first place: because, thanks to their superior intelligence, they design the iPhones and perform the surgeries that every sane person desires. The only way for the scheme to work would be if the average and poor people themselves preferred the products and services of the average and poor people, to those of the rich, but they do not, because even they are not that stupid, and inequality continues
Samuel Smith
the common man demands to have his currency manipulated? Or is that simply a byproduct of an imperfect system? It's economic drone warfare. Investors destroy small countries by shorting their currencies for personal gain.
Adam Sanchez
How many generations back in history were your ancestors literate?
Landon Turner
okay i get your point. i may be only talking hypothetical, for it is indeed highly unlikely to find a monarch in this time, worthy to have supreme power. i'm talking about a monarch who is absolutely loyal to his people, who has no intention or incentive to be influenced by anyone, neither by money, nor by anything else but his own truthseeking mind. the problem is that everybody is already corrupted by money, for money means power in these times.
Nicholas Watson
Who do you want teaching the kids of America, the smartest people or the bottom of the barrel. I think it's in our collective best interest to prioritize education, its one of the best ways to invest in economic growth in the long term. Its similar to infrastructure, by taking a small individual cost now, (taxes) you get to enjoy greater quality of life in the future.
Luis Miller
the stock market and financial service market is the MOST despotic and powerful system on the planet and owned by 1% of the population. 83% of the stock market is owned by 1% of the population. And they create NOTHING. Making money out of money.
Zachary Bennett
What about redistributing pussy? I am an incel and it's not fair Chad gets all the women and I can't even have his left-overs, it's not fair!
Ethan Myers
Check out derivatives, it's insane how much money is there.
Jose Gomez
>they design the iPhones no they dont, the engineers do, and they get paid for it, but they are far from rich. The richest do literally no work. They just buy low & sell high, which is what we try to imitate with crypto,
Cooper Miller
yeah, the guy and his people were pretty deep into the old greeks, plato n shit. they were up to something. but would have been left out, so (((they))) started the actual propaganda war...
Justin Cooper
these cuckservatives believe that all humans are as easily corruptible as their sorry materialistic asses
put einstein or tesla in charge. Tesla died penniless in a fucking hotel. His primary goal in life was liberating the common man with a free energy generating device. He passed up the opportunity to become a billionaire many times. Material objects do not phase such brilliant minds.
Leo Sanchez
Properly educating our young is good no matter how you look at it. It leads to long term economic prosperity and lower crime.

If it creates NOTHING then what good will redistributing it do dumbass?
Noah Green
>I can't help but think there are people who bought Amazon or google Stocks years ago and are making mullions and billions sitting on their fucking ass. You can open a trading account in under 48 hours on your phone. Stay poor, faggot.
Cameron Wood
yes they were unto the old platonic ideal, the proven superior should rule, and riches should be founded on actual contributions to the wellbeing of society, unlike today's leeches
Lincoln Nguyen
it creates NOTHING under their management. They don't create anything. They instead speculate on the work and currency of the common man, screwing him and profiting massively.
Michael Cooper
"redistributing" our current modern fiat would be like farting in the wind. A new economic system must be put in place
Xavier Davis
I agree teachers should be paid more but if you want teachers to have a better salary then you need to abolish the teachers union so they don’t have low IQ overly political trash that needs to be fired poisoning our kids (here in he US).
John White
indeed such brilliant minds should be in charge. Uncorruptible and 100% determined
Gabriel Hernandez
Why doesn't the common man invest in the stocks of his employer so he can also profit?
Mason Sanchez
not after they've bought them. taking their lambos away from them in the form of taxes before they've bought the new 2018 model and building a proper health-care system that provides the people with a hospital visit that doesn't end up with them filing for bankruptcy when they need to pay up, however, would help the people "whatsoever"
>inb4 but that system doesn't exist
just look at the scandinavian countries. sure, they have some problems, but their healthcare fucking works. it's like $10 for the ambulance ride, and that's it. sure, plenty more % of your income go to taxes but fuck it, at least you don't have to let your wife give birth on your sofa because you couldn't pay $10 000 for your hospital bill. and that's about 6 months pay after taxes for some people, so don't you come here saying that taxes cost as much, because it doesn't when you have companies making billion dollar profits on one end.
Joseph Brooks
>tesla >>>/reddit/
Jaxon Gutierrez
it doesn't work it sucks. you should be deported to that shithole and banned from returning.
Gavin Stewart
so you take away the part of money from the richest that they can't spend anyway?
you literally did nothing but screw people who weren't poor enough to get that money by inflating away theirs.
the richest isn't worse off -it was money they couldn't spend, was effectively removed from society-. the people who weren't 'taxed', but weren't receiving any of that money either are the ones who are now worse off.
Lucas Morris
the liberal mantra, "education alone gets rid of poverty and crime". Sorry dude, getting rid of shitskins does a way better job. Education is still important though
Anthony Martinez
Protip: Life isn't fair.
Work hard instead of whining about it. You should probably think about pivoting to a different profession too. Robots can lift rebar and don't get tired.
Bentley Gray
If wealth was completely distributed, 10 years later there would be a noticeable inequality. People who understand business, finance, and economics will invest their money while the others save or squander it.
Samuel Miller
>My back is starting to give out on me and I can't help but think there are people who bought Amazon or google Stocks years ago and are making mullions and billions sitting on their fucking ass
You do realize some of those people might have also been working construction, or having actual or metaphorical shit in their faces from time to time, as is with most jobs. The only difference is that they took a risk with their money (Google? Wtf is that? I use Yahoo. Amazon? An online fucking bookstore? I just go to bookstores to read books for free and have coffee) and it paid off. You should do the same while you still can. Also, read "The Millionaire Fastlane", you need a change of attitude to succeed at life
Jackson Hernandez
wealth will never be distributed evenly because I will always find a way to wake up earlier than you, waste less time than you, work harder than you, and have more than (YOU)
Anthony Robinson
wrong
Charles Hernandez
2+ billion people are without internet access and live on pennies per day. Many of these people produce goods and resources that are scalped by corporations and sold for 1000x the price simply because they lack ability to bring them to market. Coltan and rare earth metals are a great example of this
Aiden Sanchez
So you're willing to redistribute your wealth to those people? Let's see some donations.
Jack Martinez
it's ok because they have a wealth of culture and and abundance of AIDS
Eli Price
trust me they'd do the same if they switched places. Care about your own people, first
Ethan Hernandez
you annihilated that strawman. I wonder was his rebuttal will be
and yes, I, a 23 year old closet NEET have reoccuring payments to givewell and oxfam after having volunteered with one. It's not much but I do what I can. If you're going to tell me I should donate every penny I'll point to the 100 billionaires who are literally no happier than John Doe. The hedonic treadmill is real
Matthew Gonzalez
they might, but it's somewhat less likely. People have experienced poverty first hand are better able to empathize
Jason Lee
donations is not the solution to the problem either, neither is redistribution. donations may be shorttime help, but in the long term is it making the receiver depended, which is precisely NOT what you want. F.e. look up how thousands of charity organizations inflated haiti after the tsunami, and how it further destroyed the infrastructure. Its the same idea pretty much, the same counts for africa as a continent. donations won't bring anybody up if the system doesn't want them to come up. donations are part of the system. they are a way to make profit!
Joseph Scott
humanitarianism is a bandaid at best, and one that often carries negative consequences. Entire system needs rectification but these people are resistant to change for largely irrational reasons.
you can bet your ass they would have been the last ones to let go of slavery as well
Asher Jones
Tesla would be a hardcore conservative today but you wouldn’t understand that because you don’t know shit about him because you’re from r*ddit. Please, go read about some of his personal beliefs you projecting mongrel.
Kevin Allen
problem is you assume they have the same mental capacity as you. If they weren't doing shitwork for pennies what do you recon they would be doing?
Jayden Collins
way to focus on the person he mentioned and not his point, duh. He also mentioned Einstein which was a jewish cunt
Luis Hernandez
let me guess you read about his thoughts on feminism and now you extrapolate that to mean conservative economic values. You don't know fucking shit, so don't sling that reddit insult around in a dismissive manner. Quote him if you dare. Just try to avoid all his sympathies towards the buddhist ideal. Einstein was socialist by the way. And Tesla couldn't even understand his theories.
I don't assume that. I'm familiar with IQ demographics. There's a difference between getting paid fairly for shit work and being jipped by the system. There are americans who do work that would be paid 5% what it is in a developing country.
Levi Watson
Monogamous marriage was literal pussy redistribution.
Michael Powell
>actually believing central banker and keynesian fairy tales AHAHAHA you deserve to be poor you boomer scum
Caleb Lopez
Einstein wasn't a socialist in the way you brainlets think of

i agree they are paid shit but they should blame their leaders who allow the corps to slave away their population. At least the corps pay something, what would they earn or do for a living without them?

I stopped reading after the first sentence. Fuck you. You’re just tired of doing your shit job and want an easy way out. You’re a pussy with no backbone and no sense of responsibility.
