I don't mind billionaires existing, but I absolutely mind them getting special treatment and getting away with crimes.
edit: if you're mad about this comment, I have to think you're just jealous of the rich assholes. If billionaires paid their fair share of taxes and were prosecuted for crimes, the world would be objectively a better place. Instead, I guess for some that's not enough, it's a fully socialist world or NOTHING.
No one is "mad" at your comment. People just think it's stupid to think inequality should exist
This has to be some of the most naive text I've ever read.
Inequality will never not exist. Humans are not equally talented, equally diligent, equally intelligent, etc. They don't have equally-capable bodies, they don't have equal desires.
My coworker is lazy and chronically late, I'm not. You will never convince me or anyone with a functioning cerebrum that we deserve to be paid the same. And that's just one tiny example.
Should we not be equally dignified? Should someone be considered lesser than you for being late?
