Response to JL 2

Lol, what a bold way to place yourself over another. Just because I am just starting out in the job market does not mean I do not know anything. You sound like my grandfather telling me I don’t know shit about politics because he worked the railroad his whole life, which is just another example of an egotistical complex.
And an egotistical complex isn’t inherently a mental health condition and I never said it was, as for it to be a mental health affliction would imply that there are only a minority that have it. Everyone is egotistical to an extent, I merely said that you were more than others.
It’s awfully rude of you to assume my logical capacity based upon my age and my work experience. I don’t give a damn if you have been working since you were thirteen, it does not make you no more nor less knowledgeable than me. Again, examples of a self-justification to treat me like I am less than you, just as you are putting it as though you are better than Jeff Bezos just because you don’t have any money (aka: an ego complex).

Money isn’t some stagnant thing that will eventually run out and become hoarded. Why do you think inflation exists? If one of those corporations were to donate $1000 to each person then they would be inflating the economy heavily. There is no such thing as “sucking the country dry,” as you would call it.
I’m saying what Bezos’s billions invested more than likely is, as that is one of the main purposes of investing. He could always just be storing it away for his kids, his extended and/or nuclear family, etc. And yes, I am comparing investing in the stock market, even if you own the corporation that market represents, to a 401K, as that would be like comparing an SEP to a Roth IRA, they are both forms of retirement, just something that isn’t a pension or 401K gives you more flexibility and has differences on their returns in both stock price increases and in dividend payouts.
There is a reason why people become entrepreneurs and try to build their businesses up: to make money and to make higher profit. People getting paid six figure incomes when they work their way up that corporate ladder. I mean just a global sourcing manager isn’t so high up that it can be even remotely a CEO and they make some damn bank for what they do. People are not being overworked to the extent that you make it out to be. Again, your extremism is taking over here. These corporations don’t just barely pay their employees anything, they have a ladder system for their employees to work up. And you know what, if they are not going to give those employees the opportunity to work their way up then they can just go somewhere else that will. It’s all about who you aspire to be, and where you want to get in life. It’s mostly up to your willpower, and the respect you give to your coworkers and administration. If you have patience, the willpower, and the respect then you are bound to work your way up that ladder to make more and more money.

It boggles my mind that an American citizen, who is clearly smarter than the extremism he presents, wishes to put our economy into a downfall via reversing the tables and making it to where there is virtually no point to having a business.
I am not for corporations spying on their employees, and I never said anything on this point since it isn’t relevant; now why the hell did you bring it up?
Those who are currently underpaid for what they do, me included, it is their responsibility to work to build up their income. I don’t put my responsibilities onto the platter of laziness in the sense of let’s make corporations pay their employees a LOT more and inflate the economy ten times over. It’s like the argument of increasing minimum wage to $15 an hour; sure, everyone is going to love that they can afford anything and everything they want for one week, after that the economic inflation will adjust to make the cost of living match what it was before, because that is how this works.
It boggles my mind that you are playing the game where you are stranded on an island with someone, you both get a melon but your accomplice got a significantly larger one, which he more than likely can’t eat in one day, so you devise a plan to steal it to make it ‘more fair’. But is that fairer? Your happiness at the expense of someone’s when they really worked their asses off for it and you didn’t? Again, bearing the marks of an ego complex.

Yes, Jon, a radical would think he is entitled to money just because it exists. Shut up.
You are presenting such an extreme solution that would not nearly work and fail to see the bigger picture when it comes to arguing these topics. Hell, Aaron could argue your own point better than you could.

Again, these companies are not abusing their workers, and if these workers believe they are not being treated fairly, there are legitimate other options they can go to, it’s like what Apple versus Android was like back in 2007 where all the Androids were basically knockoffs of the iPhone, but it’s more like nowadays where there are legitimate other options to Apple’s products.
Again, money isn’t technically this thing that they can all get a hoard. Why does them having money at all not compare to you saving over 50% of your income? They are virtually the same thing just on different scales as to how much each is stowing away. Why are you, Jon, so offended that they have money and why the hell do you feel so entitled to it just because you aren’t willing to work your way up?
