The rich 1%

as a debate student i see many things wrong with our economic system, you cannot make the poor wealthier by making everyone else more poor, that is an idea of socialism, but then you would be unbalancing the economical gap between the three states which causes a recession or a depression, this is because everyone has become extremely wealthy even the poor comparatively, this is maybe because of the country but there is probably a solution im too stupid to see

also, millionare type rich IS the middle class, for states like california housing alone will cost you around 2 million at least in a very bad area, in more average area's, houses inflated to around 3+ million, the tax taxes the middle class which is the economies support

rich rich is 10+ million

owning one million isnt THAT hard with a good jobs and many many years of working

It's late here. Will address the African gent's situation a different time. I think that's a load of rubbish too, but it's more long-winded.

Have to say, respect to the OP. He got his views challenged, and although I don't agree with the views, he didn't block to create a safe-space like a fairy.

Decent back and forth convo. 145 posts in a single day, with a range of different people and views. Well done.

Those people wouldn’t be worthless junkies if just Bill Gates had a LITTLE less money!

thats NOT TRUE

that means other countries would have more money, one person cant pay it off

our economy system is rigged where one failuire indeed causes more so im not blaming the poor

im blaming the bad economic system we have

Help and negative income tax is not the way, our wellfare system is already bad enough  but at least its planned, a negative income tax is just total chaos and marxist ideals

but the economy is what they need most and we cant just try balancing to face a crash in demand and what we need

I like snoozmans comment # 80 .......it’s time the tables were turned, and the rich got poorer and the poorer got richer ✌️😎

 

You don't seem to be the least bit aware of the last 10 years of British political history - despite the English flag.

Starting with Cameron's austerity government (making absolutely brutal cuts to public spending), and ending in the outright rejection of socialist Corbyn who lost seats that were held for over a hundred years.

English people generally have a very (very very) poor view of welfare scroungers. Even things like begging are illegal here.

The disabled are a different matter, but even that was very heavily cut too.

Again, I don't know what planet you are on. Get a job or go without.

sadly this is not true in america

the democratic party claims they are solving this by making more taxes but this will not help

i need to move away from america probably, im thinking about europe, canada(sketchy since they are close to america) 

china WORKS But i also dont feel as comfortable moving to it as europe

the problem is the democratic party is scamming the poor for vote

at the expense of economy and ideal beliefs

sure republican party is kinda meh too they have some good ideas but the execution and the way they put it is realy bad

but none are addressing hte actual economic problem which is far too large

So some rich 1% is holding you back somehow? That’s odd. What does he look like?

Probably looks like the guy in the mirror.

In America the top 1% is like $700k….that’s the salary of a successful brain surgeon after a decade of work.

I guess he should make less so you can make more shuffling around yes?

eXACTLY

people work hard for money

a top tier engineer promoting through many tiers only earns 200k a year, i know someone who was offered one of the executives at microsoft thats around person 8 level which is extrremely high, only earning about 250k a year, keep in mind this is like less than 100 people probably total being person 8

We have to watch what we say about the Democrat party vs the Republican Party because the mods will lock this topic

And this is a very beneficial topic IMO to any young person who feels overwhelmed and is beaten by this idea that they cannot succeed.

The message here is positive, at least from some of us, that yes, you can succeed. The world is right there waiting for you.

If you are young you have limitless possibility….don’t let it go to waste.

I’d hate to see that message locked because some mod is too overzealous about his or her job

If you have cash in your pocket you are rich. Most of the world don't. If you have access to fresh and clean water you are rich. If you have a solid house to live in, food on your table, a bed to sleep in, friends, family then you are rich. If you do not live in fear of war, oppression, violence or abuse then you are lucky too.

The root of all evil is not money......it's corruption.

ChampoftheBepoCamp

The root of all evil is non complete science and philosophy!

TheBestBeer_Root

….it’s the Love of $ being the root of all evil, and there’s the corruption..

Bulliedofthesite

The proper quote is "for the love of money is the root of many kinds of evil". IMHO the root of evil is lack of compassion
