There’s no reason for well off people to give a fukk about the poor.

Why do people always look at the hyper rich folks as saviors that should share their hard earned wealth with the masses? Why do people think the hyper rich give up money for taxes when they can find and use legal loopholes?

Don’t we all live like them but on a not as fortunate scale??

You don’t give up every piece of your extra money to the homeless on the street. You don’t need to be saving 1000s of dollar or your paycheck.

Taxes? Do you want to spend more on taxes?

Let’s speak on it. :jbhmm:

They don't have to but I've been getting into stoicism so I don't think it's virtuous to not help people that want to help themselves.

Do you understand what is implied by the term hyper rich? Are you fine with not combating wealth disparity, and do you understand the consequences of allowing individual people to amass such fortunes?

Because the hyper rich can take advantage of tax codes, does that mean it's okay? Or is it indicative of shortcomings that should be fixed?

The only thing I believe well off people should be doing is giving Information and Education

Giving money to the poor is a useless activity. Teach them how to fish instead of buying them a fish

Wealthy people have been a cancer on humanity for centuries now.
It's the economic concept of limited resources vs. unlimited wants at work.
The wealthy's greed, sense of entitlement, superiority complex, and lack of accountability have dragged down society as a whole steadily as time goes on.
A lot of wealthy people have achieved their wealth by exploiting and abusing the working class and straight up terrorizing the poor.
Asking them to not steal, connive, hoard, and oppress isn't an unfair ask.
I could recount world history for you but I got some other shyt to do today.

Its a national security issue because poor people are more likely to become radicalized and perform terrorist attacks.
Unless these super rich people really think they can live underground or in space, this crumbling of this system will affect them as well.

Getting sick and tired of broke people getting on board with exploitative practices with no regard for sustainability. Worshipping billionaires will not make you one, it just makes you another sucker who allows them to continue without interference.
