“Since money represents power, we must ensure that money is “spread out” (yep, I said it) and that the people always have the ability to rise up against the handful of people who are always looking for ways to “take over the world.”
So where is your arbitrary line of “spreading out” money? If you make 100k a year? 50k a year? 30k a year? Who decides that arbitrary limit?
Even the poorest of American citizens are vastly wealthy compared to 10s or even hundreds of other people around the world.
Or do you say the rules only count for the USA and tough break for the other people?
I am not happy seeing jobs leave the USA but there is a flip side that millions of others have had a much higher standard of living outside the USA because of that. Don’t get me wrong, I am not thrilled that the USA has suffered because of it, I just think that your argument breaks down because it doesn’t work on a macro-level. It only works on a subsidized level with national boundaries and paying workers more for goods and services then other workers outside the USA would do the same job for. Thus the value of all those goods and services is artificial and inflated…
Again, I am not saying that there is an easy solution, I just think that there are factors that should be considered and your argument could be arbitrary.
