Of course I have, I have zoned in on a tiny minority of people who live by hoarding the wealth others create while doing nothing themselves. They do this the such a great extent that the people who do get up in the morning and go to work and produce things have to live in poverty.
Pretty sweet by all accounts, how is capitalism working in Somalia?
Nothing apart from the fact they have no capital and have to spend their lives salving away for a tiny wage so their families don't freeze to death in the winter.
Exactly. People who work should keep everything they produce and people who do nothing should get nothing. If Zuckerberg wants to have a share in the resources humanity produces he should get off his arse and contribute.
God forbid we should have to live in a world without facebook.
@Decky,
You'll always encounter people in any society like the above mentioned who make money doing virtually nothing. You've zoned in on such a small minority of people.

How's socialism working out in Venezuela?

From my perspective, If I come up with an ingenious idea and I invest a year of my time planning and working out the details, putting my money on the line to create an entirely new market or I refine my product to match or surpass the competition, I should be making more than the people working for me. They aren't taking the same risks that I am. There's nothing preventing a tradesman or a programmer from coming up with their own ingenious ideas to make more money.

Are you saying that people like Steve Jobs (RIP), Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg shouldn't be making more money than a janitor, shopkeeper or waiter? They can be pretty hard working after all.

Anyone can clean a toilet, but who's capable of inventing the next Facebook or YouTube? Maybe I got your perspective wrong; it's late and I'm tired, but this is the way I'm interpreting it.

Some people are nobody's enemies but their own.
