Default Re: This explain everything

Wealth is largely self-norming; while people tend to want more money, past some point (I think currently around $50k/year income in the US) it stops actually showing measurable effects on happiness.
but rich people use their money to create jobs and new products

if you stole the wealth from them everyone will lose

Quote:
Here’s why: Because wealth is largely relative, and you are always relative primarily to yourself
so you admit that obamamism/liberalism/socialism/communism or whatever you want to rebrand the term after every genocide and failure is all about envyness

a sane person(aka non-leftist) recognize that is better to live with 3$ in a world where everyone make 3000$ than with 2$ in a world where everyone make 1$

Now pay it. Don’t lend them the money, just pay their rent. Get your mind used to the idea that this amount of money is good for a month’s reprieve from the perennial fear of being homeless with nowhere to go.

Can’t afford that? Go to a cash machine, withdraw whatever your daily limit is, and wander around buying scruffy-looking people lunch. Go to the grocery store and offer to buy the groceries of the first person you see there with a little kid. Look at the amounts involved. A friend of mine was sorta panicked recently over losing food stamps — worth a princely $16/month. That is not a typo.

Now go look at your bank account. Man, you are rich.
people aren't doing that for a simple reason: BIG GOVERNMENT takes away from them half of their hard-earned money making them half-slaves

free people are more likely to help their neighbours

half-slaves not
