I'm sorry but advocates of forced wealth redistribution are dangerous

Imagine feeling entitled to another man's money. Ugh.

Imagine feeling like your hard work is worth 100X more than someone else's hard work. Imagine being born into wealth that allows you to barely work and live in luxury while people barely get by working 70 hour weeks over three jobs with no health benefits.

@ViciDraco it's nobody's fault that someone was born into wealth. But let's talk about the hard work their parents did- they spent thousands of hours to come up with an idea that could provide value for millions of people, then spent years implementing it till they were able to become wildly successful. On the other hand, some guy was trained to flip burgers for three days. And you think they should earn the same money? Naw.

@rickfreeman15 they don't deserve the same, but they don't deserve vastly different sums of money either. That inventor probably charged too much money or more likely underpaid the people who made his vision a reality in order to accrue such gross wealth. No man is worth 100x another man, even if you compare a surgeon to a burger flipper they both fill vital roles in society.

In fact, we should be working towards the abolishment of money and the adoption of a resource based economy. This way we don't have to be afraid of losing jobs to automation and can let people stop slaving at work.
