  1. That's one of the most ridiculous slippery slope arguments I've ever heard. It's like saying if we make murder illegal, we're on our way to becoming a police state.

  2. Who said anything about communists? If anything, he's talking about a very mild socialism, which Sweden already enjoys to some degree. By the way, Sweden has a higher average standard of living than the US.

  3. So just because he picked one of the worst offenders, that means no problem exists. Okay. :)

  4. The thing is, the people you know from college aren't even remotely close to the super rich that this video is talking about.

  5. I disagree. With 5 million invested, you could get 250 thousand per year with a modest 5 percent interest. With half that, you would still get 125 thousand annually without even lifting a finger.

  6.  @omnipotentwiz5101  You seem to know an awful lot about people you've never met before. It seems to me that you're a useful idiot for the super wealthy.

  7.  @omnipotentwiz5101  Your problem is that you're a useful idiot for the super wealthy.

  8. False equivalency, but nice try.

  9. Very true. The cost of living is wildly different in, say, New York City compared to rural Indiana.

  10. Politian wealth is orders of magnitude smaller than the super rich, but nice try.

  11. Wow. It's amazing how much I disagree with everything you say. Space X and Tesla are both shit shows of waste. You're making some wild assumptions about what would have happened without them. Everything cool that ever happened in space was NASA. Electric vehicles are not new and would have happened anyway because of battery technology improvements - Tesla is getting its ass kicked by its competitors because it is being run by an incompetent childish fool.

  12. ​@leeali4096 I disagree. It will be different people getting rich if such a reboot were implemented. Billionaires come from a combination of generational wealth, greed, and luck, not competence.

  13. @leeali4096  Instead of saying "I'm right, you're dumb" you could make an actual argument or start listing examples of these mythical billionaires.

  14. @leeali4096  Entrepreneur Magazine? Think about who the audience for that magazine is, and whether or not this source has bias or an agenda. Just because something is printed doesn't make it a good source.

  15. @leeali4096  Okay, have a nice day. All I did was ask for an example of a billionaire who didn't get rich from daddy first (Musk, Trump), or experience an enormous stroke of luck with timing (Gates, Bezos, Musk) or swindle people with lies and assholery (Theranos, Musk, Trump). Just one example. Instead you post a BS statistic that addresses only one of the criteria, and comes from a source that is literally lifting money off of wannabes who think that if they call themselves an entrepreneur, they'll be the next billionaire. But yeah, have a nice day. You're right and I'm dumb, I guess.
