    Default How capitalism works?

    I live in an expensive neighborhood, my house is one of the less expensive ones.


    One of my neighbors works an hourly salary job as a manager in a small golf store, his wife doesn’t work outside the home. They live on the water in a recently purchased 4.5 million dollar home.

    Another couple I know in an even more expensive home work at the Apple Store and the wife as a nurse.

    These are honorable professions, but they clearly do not pay even the mortgage on these homes that tend to increase im value by more than the Dow. They clearly have generational family money…the equity increase in their homes is higher than the average salary or the majority of Americans.

    The result is that a very hard working family in valuable jobs such as EMS, or police officer will never improve their situation with hard work.

    Our system of perpetuating generational wealth for hundreds years voids the basic principles of Capitalism. Yet, working class Republicans fight tooth and nail to keep taxes low on those living the high life by no merit of their own.

    Are people born poor inferior to those born wealthy?

    a good way to stop bifurcation of society is to stop keynesian economics and, consequently, fiat currency banker/fascist totalitarianism.

    which word dont you understand?

    look up the words separately and combine those meanings to form a thought in your head.

    these are instructions on reading basically. you seem to have a problem.

    Just got to any Objectivist or Libertarian site, you'll be able to tease out the meaning.

    Maybe he hasn't read as much Ayn Rand as you have. You probably like really shitty literature.

    ayn rand is an evil fascist apologist, who advocates a destruction of society, like the illuminati.

    But you seem like exactly her target audience. Developmentally stunted little boys with limited intellect but heavy with Dunning-Kruger.

    I'm surprised you don't like her!

    libertarians like her.

    libertarians have become unable to call out fascism.

    It's amazing how a war on poverty becomes a war on the poor.
