0 sats \ 7 replies \ @Taurus 16 Aug \ parent \ on: Tax the Rich? Not a Good Idea econ
“Wise” .. they just abuse people, because workers need a salary to survive or have a “normal” life as sold by the society. They also don’t pay for pollution, society (us through taxes) we pay for it. Look at the top wealthiest people and how they always find a way to crush “costs” for their own benefit (salary, bonus, gifts, external expenses, etc.). Sorry but top 1% shouldn’t exist anymore in 2024.

You'd think, right. How badly did the 20th century have to go for them to be discredited?

Communists doesn’t exist anymore. Because I have another point of view of yours and fight against abuse doesn’t mean I’m communist or against capitalism.

You are communist and against capitalism if you think the "top 1% shouldn't exist anymore in 2024". Fortunately Bitcoin makes retarded ideas like this much harder to implement.

Yes. If one guy earns more it can be because they pay 0.20$ a worker in Bangladesh to make your T-shirt. Crazy how people here always try to defend abusers.

That wasn't my point, but you're also wrong about the point you're trying to make.
Offering someone in Bangladesh an economic opportunity that they didn't have before is not "abuse" by any reasonable definition.
