Walk in to a high end restaurant.. Walk up to the person who has the highest priced meal.. Pull out your own silverware.. Take part of their meal.. Put it into your own to-go box.. Then walk out? Who's willing to walk up to a random rich person and ask them to buy you Christmas presents?

80%+ millionaires are self made and have worked their asses off.

So who's willing to walk up to a millionaire and ask them to buy things for you, right now?

Private property is a gov't granted right. Private ownership of economic infrastructure and natural resources can not exist without a gov't to enforce it. All wealth is created by labor and there can be no excess of wealth without the exploitation of laborers. Class war does not occur as you describe. Class war occurs in the form of capitalists, that is to say "owners of means of production", benefitting from a gov't enforced economic system in which laborers are forced by their own hunger to submit to wage slavery in order to survive.

When the proletariat has collectively sickened of this sufficiently, they will not beg for scraps from capitalists. They will force them into a guillotine, as they have before.

Does anyone think that it's not a problem that there are millionaires, but more so our money is worth much less now.. And that instead of social programs.. We should be capable of paying for Healthcare, food, housing.. The necessities really.. With the money we do make?

I think our money system is broken beyond repair due to inflation and wages being mostly stagnant. Capitalism has given us many great things we take for granted, but at the same time our middle class disappeared. Now I really don't care how much the fat cats make at the top, but I think the money lower class makes should have much more buying power.

Is it even possible to lower the cost of things like Healthcare and housing to a more affordable rate with out messing the economy up?

I guess what I'm saying is I'd rather be able to pay my own way for these things instead of a socialized system built around more taxes..

Just curious how others feel about things like that so I can see the broader picture.

Has anyone thought of other options besides more social programs and taxes?

you're the guy who's willing to go into fancy restaurants and ask for free shit. thread closed! It was OP along. lmao
You got me! Lol. In all honesty I just feel like people shouldn't have to ask for handouts or need to resort to taking things.. I wish we could go back on the gold standard if it wouldn't wreck the economy.. I feel like it would be better if everyone could actually afford things they need (talking about lower class, low income people)

Don't get me wrong, I watched his show religiously and was pretty upset when he left. I liked his show.
