People with great wealth don’t actually sit on piles of gold and count their coins like in the King Midas fairy tale. In addition to growing their business they create more and better jobs, products, services, and advance human happiness through medical research and philanthropic projects they love.
Here in San Diego we have some the the top world class medical facilities and cultural centers that have names like the Jacobs Medical Center or the Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center. These were all created by billionaires who chose to improve their communities with the fruits of their work.
If this money goes to the government it will be put to important projects like getting politicians reelected by redistributing money from each according to their abilities to each according to their needs. Its not about the money in the end, its about freedom.
The great wealth produced in America is the result of our great freedom to chose. Without that we are all slaves. Envy and resentment is not a valid foundation for an economic system.
Agreed.
Except they are all globalists complaining about how expensive American workers are while sitting on piles of money.
