    Capitalism - Winners get trophies

    Socialism - There are no winners but everyone gets a juice box.

    Get in line for your juice box, Kobe

    Ok Dazzler, how much "concentrations of wealth" is too much?
    What is the threshhold to to qualify for too much?
    Who should decide what is enough and what isn’t?
    How much do you donate, beyond taxes, to make it fair?
    Since you can run your mouth about it, give us real numbers, not more of your double speak and deflection.

    Of course.
    Feel free to chase Dazzler with this.
    I have irregular service.
    He needs to ănswer the questions.
    He won't. He's a typical Leftist coward.

    @HHusky is principled and voted for Ronald Reagan and advocates for a socialist utopia and I’m guessing, 👍 legalized shrooms in the workplace

    Yeah, the dazzler aka Mr. Conservative for his mythical Reagan votes. His advocacy of socialism is what he learned getting his pretend MBA. Quoting Hayek as an advocate of massive government interference in the private sector is like quoting Mao as a capitalist advocate.
    I don't advocate socialism, madam. I do advocate that you learn what it is.
    What DO you economically advocate for Dazzler? We are waiting.


    I like adequately regulated capitalism myself, plus a social safety net. Capitalism will still produce a lot of wealth though, and wealthy people should pay more in than we do, and not merely to pay for the stuff government does, but also as a redistribution mechanism in an age of increasing wealth inequality.

    Now one of you Einsteins will say that I can volunteer to pay more, as some sort of exercise in morality. Because you're not serious people.
    Can you give examples of what you consider good regulations of capitalism?

    Also, what do you consider a social safety net?

    How do you define paying more in taxes by the rich?

    You note (in effect) that paying more in taxes shouldn’t be a means to a blank check to the government to spend more …

    BTW this is something that we should be significantly aligned on as a country is holding our governmental entities accountable and not allowing them to strong arm new taxes without a thorough review of what is and isn’t needed with existing spend

    What do you consider the desired outcome of wealth redistribution? What are the goals? Does a line need to be walked to ensure that we’re requiring contributions to society in exchange for redistribution?

    And what do you consider wealth to be? What/Where is the cutoff? Do you consider the individual that retires at 55 with $5-10M of assets for retirement to be rich and subject to wealth redistribution?
