| I never said evil manipulators of money, I said manipulators of money, but hey maybe thats a glimpse of your consciounce breaking through your stoney cold heart.
By manipulators of money I mean this. They take some capital, invest it into X, Y and Z. The profits brought back from these investments provide them with enough wealth to live well, plus some for savings. They do not actually create anything, they don't build, grow or add to anything special to humanity.
And then your going to come out with your now tired whine of 'but i work soo hard, and I'm not even rich...' Thats because you right now are not a capitalist, you are petty bourgois. The capitalist is the bank who gives you the loan, or whoever is doing so. Oh and now its 'but I worked to raise the capital'. Yes, but you are in a minority, most people do not earn enough to set aside something to save for a business venture later. You have the benefit of living in a wealthy society, with money coming in from abroad, and the people who pull the strings are prepared to have a little tax in order to have a stable society (taxes spent on welfare, reducing social discontent).
Those kids are also born into a stable society, and if your business fucks up, they go back to skiving from their parents. If your workers are in the same situation as most workers, without welfare nets, if your business goes bust, they go hungry. They spend say 10 years working for you, never earning enough to save, just enough to live another day, so what happens when your bussiness goes bust? They wasted ten years of their life only to be left to starve.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
