@Chemar millionaires don’t give a fuuuuuck about the poor. Very few do in my personal experience. They won’t give away their money. Would you? They amass more money than they can spend and keep grabbing more and more.

Yup

I believe you can find them screaming at each other in brexit

According to Carnegie

All rich people abide by the Gospel of Wealth

Dont give away your money to the government, they will inefficiently use it and mishandle it

Dont give your money to the poor they will spend it carelessly

Instead give your money to those who can help themselves

Rich people do give to the poor

But selectively ofc

Thats where most scholarships come from

Its also where library donations come from

Its also how universities are funded

If you were rich

Why would you give some bumbling drug addict $1000?

Would you rather give it to someone who is like you and making business connections

Or someone on the street?

After all lets propose we split up jeff bozo asset of 150 billion dollars into 300 million americans

Every American gets $5000

And thats just it

Its not like the economy grows by splitting one rich guy's money

Better to invest in a few various americans with $100k grants who can help make america great again

@Deleted User There's nothing wrong with getting more money. Rich people have improved the lives of everyone. If you want people out of poverty you need to make more jobs. Welfare programs haven't been very successful at all

Of course not

In the US, people are addicted to welfare

For instance when LBJ incentivized singe motherhood

intentionally or unintentionally

The UK Welfare system is still better than the US

I rather have people wean off welfare

than forced to lose their entire welfare benefits because they made $1 more in a year that they weren't supposed to touch

It kills the human potential and man's will to power

People aren't encouraged to get on their feet when they are on welfare. They know if they do they'll get less money.

Which is why you should get weaned off welfare

People don't naturally want to mooch off welfare

but they're forced to

If you get $2k/month from subsidized housing payments

but you lose that $2k/month because you made $40k/year instead of $39k/year

then it makes sense people are addicted to welfare

@Gerry Think of all our money as a Pie

Rich people are getting rich yes. but the pie it's self is getting bigger. Poor are getting the same portion but the pie it's self is bigger

The Slice is it's self
