  1. Cost of living in America is much higher, so there's not that much of a difference.

  2.  @Islander05  They don't though. What in the world are you talking about?

  3. There is no way to work hard enough to warrant being a billionaire. It is ONLY possible by exploiting others.

  4. People shouldn't have to work away the prime years of their life just to not have to be stressed about bills.

  5. The rich horde resources others could use.

  6.  @Islander05  Life isn't a game though. The price for losing shouldn't be homelessness or not being able to eat.

  7.  @Islander05  Because he's not doing anything. The powerball has no agency or humanity. A musician does. Really telling that you're viewing an artist as a means for profit and little else.

  8. We absolutely do not live in a merit and work based economy. Wealth in this economy comes from ownership, not labor.

  9.  @simonjaz1279  It's NEVER a mindset. I think you're getting delerious from all that capitalist bootlicking.

  10. Wealth redistribution is a temporary salve on the festering wound. The ultimate solution is abolishing capitalism entirely. Don't care about the welfare of companies at all.

  11.  @simonjaz1279  Isn't that terrible? You have to give up some of the most essential aspects of human experience to get out of wage slavery, and most of the time, you fail anyways.

  12.  @Islander05  Gratutity shouldn't be a thing. Just pay servers a living wage already, not a measely 2 bucks an hour.

  13. Lmao billionaires don't work.

  14.  @mattchu3719  If you're poor and living under capitalism, you're insane if you're not angry.
    2
  15. Yes, you're right. Unfortunately, that's not attainable under capitalism for the vast majority of people.

  16. Because people working minimum wage jobs still need to pay rent and buy food? Lol what do you mean more than 15 an hour? Every minimum wage worker should be paid significantly more. 15 is already the compromise.

  17.  @Islander05  Why not? That trying and succeeding is based on brutal labor exploitation.
    2
  18.  @WinnerTube  It sure is. We should be working on changing that.
    2
  19.  @Islander05  So you agree that corporations exploit labor then? And I'm not cool with the government doing it either. What are you talking about?
    2
  20.  @Islander05  It's exploitative with benefits that favor the employer. Anything less than equal profit sharing is brutal exploitation. But yes, it isn't chattel slavery. Well done, you've passed that very low bar. Doesn't make it automatically ethical. Nope. Taxation isn't exploitation when the government services actually support people. The government shouldn't exist to line their own pockets. Taxes should go to things like roads, fire departments, education, healthcare, infrastructure, trains, etc. But using tax money to fund war and corporate bailouts is exploitation, yes.

  21.  @Islander05  No, you're wrong.
    2
  22.  @Islander05  Then you will remain wrong.

  23. Or we just don't accept a system that creates victims regardless of our place in it, yeah?
    2
  24.  @simonjaz1279  How do you say something like that and then support the rich and capitalism? Basic comfort in life shouldn't be dependent on you willing to give up fun in the prime years of your life.
    2
  25.  @KidTrigger  Jobs under capitalism are exploitative. Minimum wage is less than any job is worth because any job that needs doing warrants paying someone enough to live on to do it.

  26. Depends on what cost of living is. 45k can be poor if the rent in your area is high.

  27.  @greekguy7422  I mean that's what happened most of the time. You either inherit money or you waste the prime years of your life working for it. That's horrifically dystopian either way.

  28.  @kiennguyen4997  Every capitalist always reveals themselves to be completely devoid of empathy for others.

  29.  @Islander05  Not really. If you go belly up after risking it all, you're homeless. If you work a shitty job, you can at least pay rent. Only those who are already relatively wealthy can afford to take risks.

  30.  @GlitcharGaming  "added value to people" Jesus Christ, dude.

  31. Rich people SHOULD just give their wealth away.

  32. No, it's definitely rich people struggling to defend something they shouldn't have.

  33.  @thecoton6152  No, money will definitely solve their problems.

  34.  @robertdemetro7164  Rent is also in the top 1% relative to the whole world, so that doesn't really mean much. And theoretically anyone can succeed, but everyone can't. The system necessitates that most people fail.

  35.  @WilliamJohnson-cg6tz  Insane comment. People's lives are destroyed by capitalism. Capitalism and crony capitalism are the same thing. And of course I've thought it through. Have you? What are the inevitiably far reaching consequences? Increased happiness. More freedom to enjoy life. You know things like that.

  36.  @simonjaz1279  Anyone can theoretically, but everyone can't.

  37.  @unekedarlow7839  There's a big difference between living comfortably and being rich. Capitalism is one of the worst ways to go about that. The vast majority of people under capitalism will necessarily not be living comfortably. Keeping most people poor is how the rich stay rich. People have very little say in how much money they make.

  38. Billionaire money should be taken and given to people.

  39. Absolutely.

  40. Cost of living in places like LA is very high. 33k is poor in a lot of places.

  41.  @ekanemekemini7433  Those billionaires would sell you into slavery for a dime.

  42.  @ekanemekemini7433  They offer nothing of value. Poverty is a poor distribution of resources issue.

  43. Cost of living is way higher in the western world, so that doesn't really matter.

  44.  @strangeworld3746  Rent is insane what are you talking about

  45.  @vihreakuula4319  You can't become a billionaire without stepping on the poor in the first place.

  46. They always are.

  47. Depends on where you live.

  48. Hell yeah.

  49.  @simonjaz1279  That's because you hate the poor.

  50.  @DavidNunezPNW  You talked with literal lizard people, dude. Don't know how you handled it.

  51. Hell yeah. Fuck the rich.

  52. It depends on the cost of living for their area.
