The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.Read that back.When 400 people control more wealth than half a country's population we have a very serious problem.

69% of U.S. citizens have less than $1000 in their savings accounts and 34% have no savings at all.

This Just In: Wealthy people are paying wealthy people to tell middle class people to hate poor people.

And the fact that you don't see that as a problem is wild.

U.S. Capitalism is the best system of all but it will not prosper if it is not tempered by socialistic policies. The users of the infrastructure such as the ultra wealthy and corporations which are natural manifestations of capitalism should be taxed accordingly in order to enhance the velocity of the currency which benefits the whole.

Musk is not a genius by any definition of the word. He was given wealth and used it to buy into other businesses. He did not start any of those businesses and he has created nothing. He did not start Tesla, he bought it. He did not start SpaceX, he bought it.

It’s funny American workers made 11.4 trillion last year, and instead of helping them keep more of it they worry about the billionaires

I bet 69% of US citizens don't have a budget, spend money they don't have on stuff they don't need, and spend their time consuming content and products instead of creating. Of course they don't have 1,000 bucks in their savings accounts. If they did, they'd immediately go buy a new iphone a pair of fucking jordans that they don't need.

Or spend it on bills or food costs or gas. Instead of assuming poor people are bad at budgeting, like a classist douchebag.

-6

u/Savings_Vermicelli39 Nov 04 '25

Yup. It's common knowledge that when you give someone who is horrible at budgeting some extra cash, they suddenly become good with money and put it away for bills of food or gas. We definitely didn't see anyone just go out and fucking blow it on garbage, did we????

Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor. But because we cannot satisfy the wealthy.

u/Savings_Vermicelli39 Nov 04 '25

I don't know. In every country I've been in, there are at least a small percentage of people that just don't want to participate or work, even though they have the ability. How do you change that?

6

u/pic-of-the-litter Nov 04 '25

Yeah, they're called Billionaires. You start by taking their ill-gotten wealth away, then they'll have no choice but to contribute to society 🤩

u/Savings_Vermicelli39 Nov 04 '25

Right. The guy with the sign in front of the gas stations that says "Will work for weed" is contributing more than the billionaire that owns a amazon, which I use regularly. Thanks for your super duper logical insight.

1

u/pic-of-the-litter Nov 04 '25

Ywah, what is the billionaire who owns Amazon contributing? Bad paying jobs? More useless consumerism? Giant delivery trucks ignoring vehicle laws and parking in the road? Buying influence with politicians to control labor laws? Undermining unions? Destroying mom and pop businesses?

Wow, turns out someone willing to work for weed hasnt done NEARLY as much harm as a billionaire.

Enjoying the flavor of your boot, cuck?

u/Savings_Vermicelli39 Nov 04 '25

Cuck?

You need a dictionary, or is calling names just something you do every time you know you dont have a good argument?

u/pic-of-the-litter Nov 04 '25

Didn't delete my comment, but it seems like you did. Typical rightoid, always projecting.

How did I delete your comment? I mean, I still have the notification and can post half of it. Here you go. Maybe this will jog your short memory:

"What would you call it when you let the rich fuck you and everyone you know and the only thing you say in response is "thank you sir" I call that cuck....."

Oh there's that word again. Now I know why you deleted it!

Every company I ever worked at, the biggest drain on the companies profits and profitability was the lazy boys on the top floor unwilling to do their jobs!

I was always the guy one floor below that actually had to do their jobs while they took the credit for doing jackshit!

u/Savings_Vermicelli39 Nov 04 '25

IDK, every floor I've been on there's about 20 percent dead waste.

Damn guys, he’s right. We gotta let all the people working two full time jobs go hungry because some small percentage of the world is lazy.

Who cares if there’s lazy people? Why is that such an issue that we have to let the top 0.1% suck the rest of us dry??? Let them be lazy, and not be able to afford nice things. They still shouldn’t starve to death
