[quote=no_such_reality][quote=CA renter][quote=no_such_reality]It’s good to know every still think they know what’s best for someone else to do with their money.[/quote]
The bolded part is where our differences lie. Many of us think that the rich have often “earned” their money by monopolizing markets, mistreating workers, and ripping off customers. They create laws that ensure there is no competition for themselves, massive competition for their workers (they sponsor cheap immigrant labor, and/or offshore jobs, etc.), and create environments in which everyone must use their products in order to make it in life (try living without the internet or smart phones…most people can’t even apply for a job without them). Is it “their” money if they do this? You might think that it is, but I don’t.[/quote]
Cool, I’m come inhabit your house then. It’s not your house. You haven’t earned it.[/quote]
Where did you get the notion that I’ve ripped off workers, customers, etc., and changed laws that enable me to profit more than I would have otherwise? I’ve never done that, and never would. Some people do earn their money honestly; some don’t. Most **very wealthy** people don’t…I’m not one of them.
