Who is stopping you from complaining

because whenever you complain there is always some shill telling us wealth is a zero sum gain and that blah blah blah them getting richer doesn't hurt us.

except. the people who say this are often those who benefit from the wealth gap

There is $1.2 Trillion in US cash in circulation. There are approximately 330 million people in the US.

If we dish it out equally everyone can have 3,636.36 over the course of the remainder of their life.

But. Theres always a but...

US National Debt is $28 trillion. Every citizen owes $86,912 for all of the money we have borrowed. So if we remove all circulating cash out of the economy and pay off the National Debt, we equally owe 83,725.64.

So we are all equally doomed.

The end.

Debt ceiling runs out in December. So we could bump it up to a further national and unaffordable debt or default and go bankrupt. Either way these two options are equitable.

And well equally have the option of fleeing to Canada or Mexico when/if hyperinflation sinks in.

Naaaah it's fine. Don't look at that. Look over there at the offensive thing. Aren't you offended?

1. Theyre right if theyre saying its not zero sum
2. Theres a big difference between "someone disagrees with you" and "you arent allowed to complain"

It absolutely is not zero sum. Nepotism, political power. Ability to oppress comes from wealth.

There's bound to be inequality in a truly free society

But we know the inequality is a racial and ethnic thing.

Like its fine if you think the inequality is ok.

But don't pretend you care about minorities.

Up

Money ain't real
