The wealth is generated from the labor of the workers,
They get paid for what they generate.
an increasing number of which are poor and getting poorer.
That's false. The poor have been steadily getting richer for hundreds of years.
What's next, climate change or Holocaust denial?
Climate change, or Global Warming? Which side are the deniers - the ones who deny that climate change existed before humans?
Which side are the evil Nazi Holocaust deniers - the ones who want to blame all the problems of the working man on a small segment of the population (Greedy Rich Jews, right)?
Go on, tell us how a few evil people are stealing all our wealth. Let's have a final solution!
Like I said, your sick ideas have been tried before. Every time a society gets rid of the rich, people end up risking their lives to escape and go somewhere that still has rich people.
Debt, and slavery to it.
Yes, we're all shackled with 72" TVs and new cars. GIVE US FREE!
(Give us free expensive stuff, and then we'll call it slavery when we don't want to pay for it)
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.[/quote]
Oh, so quality of life is irrelevant. Then how can we define poverty? That's right, just point fingers and make up hateful rhetoric.
Have you no compassion? Don't you care that the poor have been lifted out of all their problems? They don't starve, they aren't consumed with disease and filth, they live lives of comfort and leisure, their children don't die. No, you don't care. You want to reverse that progress and send us all back into lives of misery.
Nothing like being pushed backwards in time 40 years economically in the span of 5 years.
By your stupid ideas. Capitalism pushed us forward 1000 years, and Marxism has been chipping away at it. Keep it up, maybe you'll eventually bring it all down and destroy society like you want.
