Rich folks think that just because they are rich they can make all the rules.  Rich folks think that because they are rich, they are superior.  Rich folks think that because they are rich they have a better understanding of things.  And they are wrong.

The rules in America totally suck and people suffer.

If that does not answer your continual curiosity about my motives, nothing will.  It is also scientifically established beyond doubt that equality is better for everyone.

The Spirit Level

Quote...whom you and I are personally familiar with.

True that, I have met three billionaires in my life, and have seen the rich.  I have talked to them.  They like me, I can blend.  And I know how smart and dumb they are.  So, the fact is, I may be coming from a clear-headed place, and not have the warped agenda you are always fishing for.

QuoteBecause then you wouldn't have to complain about the fraction of your hourly wage that danish and coffee cost?

I do not recall complaining.  Noting that wages are not keeping up with costs is not complaining.  Using a personal example only shows I know what I am talking about.  My financial situation is interesting.  I earned my money, I did not inherit it, and I did not earn it from investment significantly.  For the most part what I have is straight up earned wages. Leaving me with savings significantly above the median and a sense of personal satisfaction.

I have what I would have in a socialist world, and I earned it the same way I would have earned it in a socialist world.  By work.  I am well off, and I am not complaining about anything.

In socialism everyone would be at my level.
