I have seen a number of comments on here from people who are well off stating they deserve that money because they have had to work hard for it. They are a cut above the rest and follow'follow amrt investments' or got a degree and 'earned' it.
That those on the bottom need to stop complaining and take action. That those on the bottom are lazy, useless, stupid whiners...
Well I say BULL$#!+
If you guys are so smart then why don’t you understand that this is all a pyramid scheme.
We can not all be on the top, or there would be no one to do the work.
When you make money, directly or indirectly, you have to take that wealth from someone else.
Do you work so hard that you deserve to earn more than $200k a year?
There are people out there working their guts out just to be able to eat this week, do you really think you work harder than everyone else in this world, therefore you deserve a decent slice of the pie.
The problem is in this world money makes money, and when you have money you can put measures in-place to ensure no matter what happens you make more money. You become the card dealer - always guaranteed to win, those that are less fortunate need to keep working away and hoping they don’t luck out.
Money in its simplest terms is a debt - when you give it to someone they exchange work for it. So how can you make money from money if you have not even done any work for it? From investments you say..? well if you spread your investments enough you are never going to lose are you? Does a poor person have that luxury of financial security?
Its all good to scoff at those on welfare but perhaps they actually just understand the game is rigged, or are tired of working their ass off only to luck out. Maybe they dont want to get to the end of their life only to be able to say well, i worked for some fat cats my whole life, busted my gut day and night, got to eat some good meals. Would you sit down and play monopoloy if every time the person who won the last game got $2000 instead of $200 when they pass go and already owned half the board? what would be the point if you had an option to just sponge off the banker.
The rich need to wake up and realise the poor are not playing the same game they are - because the poor can actually lose. If you are rich and you lose it is your own damn fault - you are the one that did not spread your investments enough, you are the one that took a gamble, you are the one that took a loan you could not repay quickly before the dollar collapsed. The people who complain that $200k is not enough because they need to put their kids through college, pay off several mortgages and a car etc are the real drop kicks in this world - they don't even know how to spend their money wisely.
Dont put your kids through college, dont take out loans you can not repay quickly, dont buy things you can survive without - these are basics any poor person knows. Poor people are unbelievable with money, they can survive a month off your kids pocket money - and before everyone starts stereo typing poorer people as drunks, smokers and drug abusers, these people are addicts just like you find amoungst the wealthy, the only difference is they usually have bigger things to be depressed about, and can not afford to go to a fancy rehab centre when they come off the rails. As for those that gamble, maybe they like casino odds better than the odds of their life.
Again it is all a pyramid scheme - someone always has to be on the bottom, and the richer the rich get and the more new toys they want to buy the more people need to be on the bottom to keep their fat ass up the top. To think those on the bottom are just lazy or down there because they are the weakest link is a delusion and are lie spread by the rich to help them sleep at night.
At the end of the day we are all drowning, the only way to survive is to hold someone else down to keep afloat - unless we all stop drowning each other in panic and work together to swim to the shore - and that can only come from a new system.
