For example, how could anyone believe that wealth comes from the poor?
The wealth is generated from the labor of the workers, an increasing number of which are poor and getting poorer.How could any serious person believe that "the poor are getting poorer"?
How could anyone claim to be ignorant of this very well documented and controversial phenomenon and expect to be taken seriously? What's next, climate change or Holocaust denial?If a man has approximately $0.00 worth of assets, how could he get any poorer?
Debt, and slavery to it. If you have $0 in assets and owe $20,000, you have a negative net worth. We have also recreated a modern form of indentured servitude with never-ending unpaid internships.How is it that the quality of life for "the poor" in many nations is higher than the quality of life enjoyed by Kings and Queens throughout most of history?
Technology. That's irrelevant and moot since we aren't time travelers.In the United States, the poorest families have a higher life expectancy than the average member of royalty had, 200 years ago. They also have more leisure and entertainment, TV, internet, cell phones, Playstations, heat in the winter and cold air in the summer, a different set of clean new clothes for every day of the week, and their choice of meat and fresh vegetables 3 times a day. In the United States, the average "poor" person is not only well-fed, but actually obese.
Is there no compassion in your heart?
Nothing like being pushed backwards in time 40 years economically in the span of 5 years.
