This is echoes of Obama: “You didn’t build that!”

Problem is: Lots in the masses believe this.

How about the line: “You sat on a couch while thousands of people were paid modern-day slave wages.”

How many business owners do you know that “sit on a couch.”

I’ll ask my brother who employs 65 people and pays their health insurance - how often he “sits on the couch” while his business “runs itself.”

He must be lying to me when he says he often puts in 70-hour weeks and often sleeps in his business b/c he’s too tired to drive home...

Too true. Particularly the millennial losers with their tats and their the world owes me attitude. They have neither the intellectual capacity to be successful entrepreneurs, nor the determination to work hard in a job to get ahead. They are lazy, arrogant, self impressed and have a totally unrealistic and wildly inflated view of their worth and their abilities. So when they see someone else much more successful than they are they think "I'm just as good as he is and he was just lucky." And naturally if someone is just lucky then wealth is "distributed" and not earned. So if wealth is distributed then its logical they should have a share of it their being just as good (which they're not) as the one with the wealth.

The problem with her argument or “statement” is it’s not true for a number of reasons:
#1——Capitalism gives one the choice to leave that job or stay there and also the opportunity to start their own job.

#2-—Private companies that make lots of money hire people to work and once again they have the choice to stay or leave.

#3-—With Capitalism you make your money because people WANT your product, they’re not forced to buy it.

#4-—Capitalism let’s you choose your social status-—you and only you get to chose the lifestyle you want to live.

However with socialism one is forced into a social status determined by government. You’re forced to pay into a system with no hope of “getting out”. You’re forced to buy certain products. Those in charge of socialism own you and determine you job and placement in society.
