    Imagine looking at soft-brained, incontinent Donald Trump and thinking "wow, wealth and power really are given to the best, brightest, and hardest working".

    We live in an oligarchy, not a meritocracy.

    Wealth is a product of society. It should go towards the betterment of that society. It's a social contract.

    Pretending immense concentrations of wealth is the product of "working hard" is just as fallacious as pretending widespread poverty is the product of "laziness".

    So if the law said anybody named Mikey has to s--- a dog's d-ck, you'd be okay with it? Or should legalism maybe not shield anything from critique?

    Do you know how much a BILLION dollars is? Like, it's an unfathomably HUGE amount of money. If you have that much money and don't use it to contribute to the betterment of society you're a greedy piece of garbage and probably a sociopath who lacks basic empathy.

    Yeah, you can say that they earned it themselves and they don't "owe" it to anyone blah blah blah but that's just a justification for being greedy.

    Until everybody has healthcare, housing, food, etc I see no reason why we should feel complacent with robber barons around.
