Isn't the dollar fake and gay? Isn't wealth necessarily invested in destroying us? Aren't all those portfolios made out of treason? Isn't it revolting to you to think that you will suffer deprivation and lack and grief so that systems will stay afloat for trust fund kids who won't ever know a moment of soul crushing, degrading economic desperation and insecurity?

What does someone's wealth have to do with you? If he got it lawfully then it's his. His wealth will do him no go unless he spends it. If he spends it he helps the community. Why should a government take anything from anybody that has acted lawfully in gaining his wealth?
If you see a child laughing do you complain because someone else child is not laughing? It's the same thing. the fix is also the same thing. Instead of stoping the child that is laughing. Create laughter and encourage others to do the same. Instead of stealing from people who worked smart and did what was needed to create what you consider absurd learn from that person and do the same thing. Take the chance, knowing full well you can lose everything in the process. Your statement that wealth necessarily invested in destroying us is not valid. Your second point that those portfolios are treason is also not valid.
Your analogy matters if we assume that all laughter is at demonstrable suffering of other children who are controlled by the laughing kids so as to suffer more for more laughs
NO, my analogy matters because it does not matter how much someone else's wealth is. There is not a finite amount of wealth. Just like there is not a finite amount of laughter.
Someone having more wealth does not block you from having wealth. You are making a false connection between laughter (wealth) and suffering of others.
What I am talking about here is honest wealth. You are trying to connect dishonest wealth to what I am saying. Someone who creates honest wealth helps everyone. The only real way to create honest wealth is by making others wealthy in the process. When you do that those others are willing to help you reach you goal.
If someone creates a widget that everybody wants at a price he would like to get and at a price they are willing to pay he will get wealthy. If he charges too much and becomes greedy other people will step in and offer a similar widget at a price that the market would be willing to buy at.
I'd have this discussion in 1840 but after all gay
