too rich?
RE: too rich?
(January 26, 2013 at 10:29 pm)Shell B Wrote: To be fair, I would buy an Aston Martin and help the needy. Just saying. It's not like I would drive it through a poor African village drinking Champagne and rocking bling. In other words, it is okay to have nice things if you are rich. Being contemptuous of nice things seems like jealousy, which is also okay. What is not okay is to be a tight ass that buys himself nice shit, but doesn't share with people who need it. It's fucking tax deductible. Why not?

Again, I do not hate wealth, it is the total climate, not one person. No I don't think it is ok to be jealous of wealth. No more than I think it is ok to have contempt for the poor. In the end we are all humans and how you treat others is what matters.

It is ok to have nice things. But it is not ok live in a bubble and pretend there isn't a problem and that everyone who doesn't get up to the top is worthless.

Since when do investments no longer require money?

What are you historical examples?

The rest of your post simply reminded me of this image:

Yes, money does not solve social problems- as money is not simply a thing that people require more of- economics is an ecosystem always trading with each other. I said that donations and hand me downs do not work, since it doesn't solve problems, it only keeps people on life support to survive beyond their means.

If I was a starving African, I would want job opportunities. Not some white people to give me a sandwich every year.

Is that really how stupidly you view life? That picture on your horse makes all the sense in the world now.

This isn't about opportunity, this is merely you in denial that giving is nothing but PR on your part to justify having that horse.

Opportunity works so well that there is lower pay, and higher cost of living and less jobs.

I am sorry but the slash and burn economy of global monopolies isn't providing shit. Over tilling the field and blaming the picker is all you are doing.
