@neisanland2503 HOW is a hyperproductive person's well earned wealth at the cost of the poor?!? It doesn't work like that, exactly the contrary. And Bezos will pay more taxes than the bottom 100 million Americans, simple FACT. I never made a dime off the poor nor did anyone else including the government, they are already living on MY WORK.
Again--ANYONE can become wealthy in America. Wanna know how? Let me tell you how I did it because it's the common way it's done : I worked my face off straight out of high school at an under ground mine (OK, that mine detail is not common, but you get the idea) in the High Sierras, week on end of double shifts, 16 hrs a day became the norm. Saved every penny I could during the summers to attend subsidized Junior College the rest of yr. (yes I'm fine with my taxes going back to that)
I drove a Ford Pinto, worthless econobox, didn't own a TV, nor stereo nor toy for yrs, rode my bicycle exclusively before my 2nd yr at JC. Struggled to get certified in welding as a back up to my eventual engineering goals and a way to create more money for my purpose. Yes I created that wealth , it was money that would not exist if I didn't sweat and swear to MAKE IT.
I invested every saved penny in starting my own welding contracting biz and after yrs of struggle to get established and profitable went back for my engineering degree. ALWAYS living well below my immediate needs, always treating my customers with highest integrity and standards even if it meant I lost my ass on a particular project. Invested in myself and later in outside enterprises that I spent a decade studying to get my head around. (think Tesla)
My money created more wealth for many others and myself, I still live in a shameful shack but it's all MINE and I can now look forward to building a modest, high quality house on my 'dream yard' now that I'm modestly wealthy.
Anyone else can do similar in America. Tradesmen are in incredible demand, have been for decades. I can earn well over $100/hr just by myself and I EARN every penny of it. My customers gain as do their employees, they only want more of me than I have time and energy. (they joke they want to clone me, lol)
Society as a whole gains from MY GAINS both with TSLA and my own tiny biz.
I don't OWE anyone except to repay my subsidized education, infrastructure, courts, law, libraries and so on. Punish me TOO MUCH for being productive and I'll simply stop. Meritocracy is NOT OPTIONAL, I will not bust my ass to be in the same state as a druggy under the bridge tho I may well join them there. Hahaha
