>Even if an individual earned hi wealth justly through hard work and good choices, it should still be redistributed because the collective health of society is more important than the rights of the individual to amass/hoard extreme amounts of wealth

Right-wingers will hate this argument because it is true. The collective matters more than the individual.

You cannot have a society without the collective, but you can have a society without the single greedy individual.

you'll never convince them to accept this no matter how logical it is. they don't care because they are all greedy retards. Capitalism will persist until it starts cannibalizing the core institutions that made it successful. Socialism will take over and force the wealth from these people one way or another. most of them will be hanged or shot hopefully.

You don't need much wealth to afford pretty much everything. Maybe 100k or so. The only exception is a house, which are very overpriced atm.

>yet another memeflag retard with a bait thread, swarmed by even more retards who don’t understand money.

This kind of wealth concentration is the result of precisely two things: jews and the Cantillon Effect. The latter is what happens when new money continuously introduced into supply: those closest to money creation spend it before inflation hits, and as it makes it way through the economy, inflation rises/prices adjust and it loses value. The rich spend it on assets that appreciate, using money that has full value. They spend interest on even more assets, and the effect of wealth building compounds. New money raises the expected standard of living, which creates demand for foreign goods at lower prices, driving out domestic manufacturing and forcing the economy into services instead of commodities. Sound familiar?
>but those jews, though
They’re always a problem, because they accelerate financialization of everything. That, combined with their naturally corrosive practices that erode tradition and decency, and here we are. Also their usury.
>>
>>540066844
>you're poor as hell
Yep, poor enough to get (((free))) healthcare from the state and get money back from my state and the IRS every year. But I've got lots of assets, zero debt, and plan to retire in the next 5 years.
>you want to defend jewish billionaires
I really don't care if some other people have more money than I do. But I'll bite, how do you suppose murdering and robbing successful people will improve my lot in life?
>>
>>540067186
>The rich spend it on assets that appreciate
So only "the rich" are allowed to buy assets that appreciate in value?
>>
>>540067219
>But I've got lots of assets, zero debt, and plan to retire in the next 5 years.
asset checks are a condition of receiving state medicaid, so i really doubt this.

you sound like a white nigger leech who will likely have a very rude awakening over the next several years. you'll likely be kicked off state medicaid on january 1, 2027, as an example.

>>540065216
>The collective matters more than the individual.
Not if the collective becomes mostly subhuman - either through nature or through nurture. Your 'greedy individual' is now the mean. That did happen, does happen and will happen in most countries at some point. Funnily enough, it is almost solely because of you leftists.
>>
>>540067186
>The rich spend it on assets that appreciate
The next 30-year treasury auction is 8/13/2026, which should have a yield of ~5.25% (although rates are expected to increase in the future). The minimum buy in is only $100. You can easily participate with TreasuryDirect or your broker.
>>
>>540067318
>only the rich are allowed to buy appreciating assets
I didn’t say that, but they tend to buy a lot more as a percentage of their income, and at a lower price relative to inflation. Doesn’t help that they often have access to a financier class that’s disproportionately jewish. Cantillon wrote about that phenomenon as well but no one mentions it because muh antisemitism.

The LLC is in my brother's name, the investments, land, business, house, and investments are in the LLC. I've been broke on paper since 2014 when I folded my eBay store and stiffed my creditors for about 110K.
>you sound like a white nigger leech
Perhaps, but so long as 51% of the people in my state who vote want to give me health insurance at someone else's expense I'm not going to be too proud to take it.
>likely have a very rude awakening over the next several years.
The only thing that might hurt my 5 year plan is if gold, oil, and other commodities somehow tank. Even then, I've always managed to find a hustle. Absolute worst case scenario in my life is that I'd just have to work full time in an office.
>you'll likely be kicked off state medicaid on january 1, 2027
That's fine. I'm very healthy and all my grandparents lived deep into their 90s without constantly going to doctors or being dependent on drugs. I don't think my dad has been to a doctor in his adult life and he is in his 70s.
>>
>>540068480
>but they tend to buy a lot more as a percentage of their income,
Wow, so you're saying that wealthy people invest more than, say Mike Tyson who pissed away 50 million on gold teeth, an entourage, and a tiger collection?
>and at a lower price relative to inflation.
For the vast majority of investments (publicly traded stocks) nobody is getting a "better deal". You can sign up to Robin Hood right now and buy a share of Exxon Mobil for $155. Elon or Bezos can't just call up a broker and get 10% off and pay 140 for a share.
The ONLY place wealthy investors get a leg up is in privately held companies and startups, but once you build up enough capital to be worth talking to and have the willingness to risk it on new businesses it's not impossible to get into those circles.
>>
>>540068480
Typical poortard math. "Bonds lose 1.75% of their value per year, so I'll going to hold cash in my mattress that loses 7% per year!"
Also, the rate is determined via a competitive bidding process where institutional investors basically say what interest rate they want, and everybody including you gets the same "best" rate. Isn't much of a reason for them to bid below inflation (except above example) when they could just invest in something else instead.

>Typical poortard math. "Bonds lose 1.75% of their value per year, so I'll going to hold cash in my mattress that loses 7% per year!"
I think the logic is more along the lines of "If I can't be a billionaire before Christmas, there's no point in even trying, so I'll just piss away my paycheck on whatever gives me a dopamine rush right now."
>>
>>540069003
>Mike Tyson
Cantillon was French and in the 18th century, he wasn’t concerned with retarded niggers who got money from jews pushing him onto a trusting populace.
>they’re not getting a better deal on stocks than you
Not what I said.
>they have an advantage with private investments
More or less what I said, with access to a class of people that most don’t.
>it’s not impossible
Neither is building a house from scratch but it’s still wildly unrealistic for most people at this point in the economic supercycle. Get mad or don’t, this is just how money works over a long enough period of time, every time, everywhere. Having hard money like gold and silver doesn’t change this either, although the boom/bust cycles aren’t nearly as dramatic.
>>540069443
Did I say don’t buy bonds? Jesus you people are stupid. There are way better places to put your money than into bonds.
>>
>>540069716
>dopamine rush society
Also discussed by Cantillon. He observed that as money supply is inflated and wealth is concentrated, in short, people become more degenerate and engage in increasingly shortsighted, low time preference behavior. Wealth concentration also tends to lead to political instability as most people approach the point where half their income goes to food.
>>
>>540069864
>Did I say don’t buy bonds?
Yeah, right here:
>There are way better places to put your money than into bonds.
Like 90% of my money is in stocks, but as interest rates increase bonds become more and more attractive. Poorfags usually have retarded levels of risk aversion, so treasury bonds are a perfect investment for them.

>>540069716
True. There is also trauma culture where people want to be unsuccessful so they can farm pity on facebook or w/e
>>
If this "hi" wealth individual was spending the majority f the money in a way that was useful (not investment/jewish bullshit but instead giving it to real people through employment, spending it on infrastructure etc) then perhaps they can be allowed to exist. Hoarders, of all kinds, should be put to death.

I can buy a 50 pound sack of flour or rice for around $35, chicken and pork are still a buck a pound. "Poor" people in the USA are so fucking fat they can't even walk and get a free scooter from the government along with enough gibs to maintain their 30,000 calorie a day diet that got them there.
