Happily proving you wrong: The majority of all millionaires in the world are self-made, capitalism at it's best. http://philippahuckle.com/ten-million-se... Wealth is not a static thing. It can be created.
You cannot "hog it" because others can always create more. That's like saying that the guy down the street has more happiness so you have take his away so you can be happy. It's a nonsense argument.
The wealth gap? I love this one. Okay, folks, imagine you start with two dollars.
The guy next to you starts with two dollars. You invest and work hard and have four dollars. He fritters his money and doesn't work and has one dollar.
There is a wealth gap of THREE DOLLARS! Ten years down the line, you have 43,031 dollars. He has...ONE DOLLAR!
OMGoodness, the Wealth Gap has increased! The wealthy must have done something REALLY BAD! Garbage.
As long as people produce, create, build, there will ALWAYS be an increase in the "wealth gap". Of COURSE there is! And with time it gets BIGGER because more and more people get wealthy, and even though the standard of living for our poor is "RICH" by the standards of most of the world's poor, they still think they are owed more.
No, they aren't. Taxes can be low. Add high regulation, few options for investment, and better futures elsewhere and business begin outsourcing and leaving.
Why would they stay? They are vilified, treated like dirt and charged far more for everything by the government. Printing money does devalue the dollar.
The rate is set. That's like me saying my price is $1 for a cup of lemonade. That doesn't mean my lemonade is WORTH a dollar.
Don't be silly. Double check the causes for that housing market crash. I think you'll find that Wall Street's part was minor.
Floor, prize, and audience taken. You've been proved wrong.
What is seen as "conservatism" in America is really feudalism. They want to restore the type of system that was around in the middle ages in Europe where taxes were collected from the lower classes and redistributed to the kings, lords, counts, barons, etc...
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
