The Great Wealth Robbery

[Jimaz]

Regarding secured vs. earned wealth:

The central scandal is this:

The capitalist system defends secured but unearned wealth over earned but unsecured wealth then complains that any unsecured wealth must have been necessarily unearned — even if it was, in fact, earned.

This is the central lie that capitalists use to legitimize their theft of others' earnings.

In short: "I got mine. Go get yours. If I can afford to defeat your earnest efforts to do so, that's your problem, not mine."

What a bunch of shameless deadbeats.
