Bernie said that it was "unfair" that the 1% hold 90% of the wealth. Please tell me what is so "unfair" about it? They earned it. They didn't steal it from the other 99%? What we have now is fine but Sanders wants to tax them even more. And bad luck, STFU. You and your 99% tax is insanity. This is an A (me) to B(tang) conversation. C yourself out.

Loser.

I wouldn’t use the word “unfair” but I would call it a policy failure. The system we have concentrates money at the very top. We should change the system so that less money is concentrated at the top.

How would you change it?

No because that is stealing for personal gain. It matters where the money goes. Unless Bill Gates and everyone else wants to personally pay for education, healthcare, etc for the country. Otherwise it isn't theft.

So, if I rob Bill Gates and donate the money to education or healthcare it isn't thievery because he's still rich?

At least 50%. No loopholes.

Wow, tang is dumb. It's not stealing because taxation isn't theft.

I agree that as long as taxation is not abused by government, then it is not theft.

That's exactly what I just said. Lol

Because poverty is generational and some of the rich inherit some money. In an equal world, no one would benefit or suffer from their parents endeavors.

Also, not every rich person earned their money and not every poor person is terrible with money.

Bill Gates inherited his money?

SOME. Again I don't believe in income redistribution.

I didn't miss your point. You worded your argument poorly, and I figured I would have some fun with you by showing you this. I understand what you're saying.
