I tolerated you before but you don't understand basic economics

For many years, schools, mass media, and government agencies have convinced lower income people that they are in the “middle class,” by publicizing the median personal or household income, which they often call average income, rather than the actual average income. At present, the median household income in the U.S. is about $54,000, and the average household income is about $140,000. I’ve spoken to many educated people, including newspaper writers, over the last several decades who were unaware of the real numbers.

they are your countrymen and you should be happy for each other's successes

@Nikitis you have a point. but I think you miss the point: upper class is needed.

The rich are good

the problem is we have an evil upper class

Especially when they agree with you

and its our fault, because we believe in Free-market and equal oportunity, etc

and the other point: tax money is used half as efficiently *at best* as private money is

^

just focus on having a population of decent people, and those who become rich will be likely to spend generously on the public good

Money is tangible good in the end.

I'd they aren't taxed up the ass they will

It doesn't flow.

The fact of the matter is that when the rich invest in companies, that helps everyone because more jobs are created and wages go up to attract better workers.

It doesn't move around.

what the fuck are you fucking retarded

It sits still in bank accounts.

Omg

jesus you are retarded

Greed and lust for money benefits the masses under a capitalist system.

MONEY IS NEVER SITTING IN A BANK ACCOUNT

Greed is good

This man has never done business before

Money is constantly flowing in and out

Money is a bank or in a hedge fund is invested in new and established corporations

Ask anyone who owns a business

having lots of money in banks and funds means more available money and lower interest rates

that means the non-rich can actually borrow and improve their lives

Believing banks actually help the economy

Lol

People don’t keep money in bank accounts to simply never use again.

The banks were not reprehensible for the 08 crash

By the way

Investment

It's the only way

you're a big retard guyt

go read a book

I think everyone is missing an important point: whoever has money has power to change politics, so wether the capitalist system works economically, it doesn't matter, because if evil man gets in power, even if he does economic good, he changes laws for the worst. that is why, guaranteeing that only loyal men who swear a private believable oaf to loyalty to the nation and who proved his morality/honesty should be allowed/choosed to be upper class. otherwise, you get rich(free market) nation, that works for foreign nation people.

savings = investment

it is fucking 1:1
