"So it sounds like you believe that it is morally ok to steal from someone richer than you, since his/her wealth was stolen from you. Would you also say that anyone poorer than you is morally justified in stealing from you, since you are "rich" compared to him/her?"
Yes, if I don't need it and they do, yes indeed. Hell, take it. I'm not a greedy pig.
The funny part is if we as a society all gave our fair share you and I as working folks wouldn't notice a difference. We already give enough, the vacuum occurs due to the wealthy.
How many hot meals could we turn a hefty portion of Bill Gates fortune into? It's mind boggling. I’m not even proposing turning Bill into a poor person, but just less of a rich person.
There is no valid justification for the excessive wealth and poverty in the world.
You can post charts, explain business models to me, sing the virtues of the modern day capitalist and it all comes down this.
Last year in the US we spent 8 billion dollars on Viagra.
8 billions dollars a year to get a hard dick, and yet fly covered children lay out on the mud floor of their huts dying from simple hunger,US bombs or easily treated diseases.
I say “F-you” to anyone who tries to say that’s the way things should be, or has no compulsion to change them.
Call me all the smug little nick-names, “pinko” “commie” whatever, but I have a heart, I can’t help but to feel the way I feel when I survey the hypocrisy of some of the luckiest people eon the face of the planet. AMERICANS.
Can you imagine how much better things would be if we were dropping humanitarian supplies in lieu of BOMBS?
I can.
