Your parents are tired of you.

Poor people aren't poor because rich people are rich, they're poor because they make poor decisions.

@Spiral.Dynamics your attitude is other people got theirs, now gimme yours.

@uhhuhsure everyone is a capitalist with their own money.
2
@Salazatl yes. Most people make poor decisions. Pretty much all of us have made some poor decisions, myself included. But I'm doing relatively well financially, because I recognize the poor decisions and try to make better decisions, I don't just cry about rich people and demand a handout.
2
@Salazatl are you in a better position than what you were born into? Because most of the most successful people are, most of them were born into money, but they turned that into much more money. How much wealth have you accumulated in your life, compared to your parents?
2
@Jbuckets23 so why don't you go and get some of it, instead of complaining about how someone should have to give it to you.

@charlenegraham1923 there are 9 SC Justices.

@NDHFilms they want a free handout. That's all every progressive wants. They just mask that by saying they want everyone else to get a free handout too, because why should they care? It's not their money.
1
@KlausJLinke they're allowed to be rich, just like you're allowed to be poor. People make different choices, that's part of freedom.

@xtinkerbellax3 it's almost like socialism always fails because human nature is a thing that exists.
1
@xtinkerbellax3 yes. Most people are greedy. All socialists are greedy.
1
@xtinkerbellax3 socialism is greed. You aren't owed anything just because someone has more than you.

@dweblinveltz5035 that's how life works, since the dawn of time. Some people are born in better positions than others, at least under our current governance you have the opportunity to climb up in success. Nobody is stopping you except yourself.

@monopolizedopamine I'm nowhere close to Elon, or you. I'm middle class, but I'm not crying and begging for a handout, or thinking my hardships were because of some invisible entity that's out to get me. I've made mistakes, I've paid the consequences, I learned, and I did better. And I'm content with my life. I don't care about billionaires, they didn't do anything to me, or to you. You're in the way of your own success, grow up and take accountability.
1
@monopolizedopamine fear of failure? Everyone fears failure, that's just part of being human. But I don't fear it as much as someone like you, who knows you're going to fail, because you always fail. You just project that fear into hatred, because it's easier for you to blame your problems on someone else than to accept responsibility and do better.
1
@monopolizedopamine that's not my problem, maybe if you spent less time worrying about billionaires and more time worrying about your own life, you wouldn't be so bitter at the world because you would actually make a life for yourself. Maybe. But probably not.
1
@Jonnyguywrestle taking less money away from someone isn't the same as giving them money. It's taking less money.
1
@monopolizedopamine exactly, you're more worried about billionaires than you are with your own life. Because it's easier. That's exactly my point. I stopped thinking like that when I was in grade school, I don't care if another kid has candy, because sometimes I have candy too. Apparently you never grew out of childish envy.
1
@DarrenBladeSnider I've been working since I was 16, and I'm doing fine. Maybe you should try it some time.
1
@DarrenBladeSnider sounds like you're jealous. I'm doing fine, I don't want or need a handout. You're the one crying about the mean billionaires.
1
@someonenotnoone people demanding someone else's money aren't good people.
1
@kappadarwin9476 well they didn't do everything right, or they wouldn't have ended up on the streets. Not everyone did.
1
@someonenotnoone you don't have to lease, you can own your own property too.
1
@someonenotnoone it's not arbitrary at all, life is what you make it. And you've made nothing.
1
@someonenotnoone nobody is using violence to stop you from using resources, go get a job and then you can buy resources, with money, like a normal person.
1
@Kentrosauruses good thing nobody has to worry about trusting you with money🤣
1
@someonenotnoone when has anyone ever used violence to prevent you from moving out of your mom's basement? Your mom is more likely to use violence to get you out of her basement.
1
@someonenotnoone evidence for what? Last I checked the burden of proof was on the person making the claim, you're the one claiming you're a loser because someone used violence to make you a loser. Sounds like you need evidence to back your claim.
1
@someonenotnoone police use violence to enforce the law, when necessary. There's no law stopping you from exercising your own property rights. Your personal failures are stopping you.
1
@someonenotnoone what law is preventing you from getting a better job and buying a house? Who is stopping you?
1
@DarrenBladeSnider I'm the one saying grow up and earn your own money, you and most of the others here are saying "nu-uh, someone else should give it to me". I think you need to learn how the real world works. Even if you think rich people owe you something, it wouldn't hurt to get off your ass and improve your own life while you're waiting for your free handout.
1
@DarrenBladeSnider you've made no valid points whatsoever, it's just a bunch of name calling nonsense trying to make yourself feel better. You can't find that on the internet. You need to stop making excuses and improve your life, that will help you more than feeling like you're winning some internet argument.
1
@DarrenBladeSnider one of the most basic economic principles is "there's no such thing as a free lunch". Seems like that one completely escaped you. Or maybe you just want to believe it's not true.
1
@DarrenBladeSnider right, you're just still waiting for your free lunch. How many years has it been?
1
@DarrenBladeSnider that doesn't start to take on any kind of meaning just because you keep repeating it.
1
@DarrenBladeSnider the truth is you're not rich. It's not the end of the world, I'm not rich either. You can accept it, or you can deny reality and pretend like it's someone else's fault.
1
@someonenotnoone I never said people can have whatever they want, but you can make a lot of different choices in life. There are things outside of your control, but that's why you should make good decisions when it comes to the things you can control. And nobody is perfect, but when you make a mistake, own it and move on.
1
@tacocat9 yes, banks usually give bigger loans at lower interest to people who are likely to pay them back. Would you loan money to someone with no job?
