Be good to each other.
However I don't agree with it, I don't see why it shouldn't happen, really. The owner's of companies are the ones who generate business, revenue, create jobs for others etc., essentially make money circulate to make the world go round. Through that business, innovation and technology progress, and as a result medicine advances, as do most other things.
I realize 40% of the wealth is a massive leap, but it is what it is. This is a capitalist society (North America), and these people just learned how to capitalize better than the rest of us.
The tough part, which I think people are really stuggling to grasp here, is that the wealth will now stay in those 'lines of people'; families, generations etc. There's really no way to recover and re-spread it. It's like the bankers of old, the Sachs and Rockafellers. This is just the modernization of their feats.
Welcome to 2013. Get money.
Cock, I couldn't agree more with you. What I mean to ask is this: Who designed 'the system'? Are there rules? Do people amassing wealth have to spend it? My point is this: they're not doing anything wrong, per se. Sure, there's some ridiculous salaries, bonuses etc., but they're from the companies that these people have created and made successful.Quotes above - Shortened by BJ to keep the thread lookin clean
Alberta's way better than most of this country's over-populated (RE: p.akies) and over-priced communities (RE: Toronto/MTL/Vancouver). Calgary does have a p.aki mayor though hahaha

A ) A joke
B ) He is, actually, handling shit "like a G" (I'm assuming this gangster-speak for "well")
C ) Minus all of the jokes/ha-ha, Canada does really have to start utilizing immigration better, allowing cities other than Toronto/GTA, Montreal and Vancouver to grow. We have way too much land, but because of the densities, we endure ridiculous real-estate prices and traffic. It's silly.
My parents are in the top 2% in the U.S. pushing into the 1% and they have worked their asses off to get where they are. You see all these people growing up while going to school not doing the work, not making the right decisions. It's no wonder they don't amount to anything. People are lazy and if they can get by on the dime of others they will. Some of these people even feel entitled to shit which is ridiculous and now they are saying the wealthy hasn't done shit for them or they have too much money. They are ignorant to their situation and choices, their lives are the result of their terrible choices that they don't want to own up to. Success doesn't grow on trees, if you want a lot of money make something everyone will want/need/use or work your way up in the food chain.
Who are you talking about? Anyone not in the 1%? Lower, middle, upper class? With the example of your parents, are you saying everyone in the 1% deserve to be there? Your post is just like the video in the OP, I'm having trouble who is being targeted and no sources provided.
I liked the whole discussion but then I get to this crap ^^
Whats up with that OG? I mean you're black FFS, you should know better.
Just another liberal communist thread. Cock sounds like my Race & Ethnicity teacher crying about Generational Wealth.
Boo hoo the system is so terrible! People in the 12th century had it so much better! Canada and the US need to wake up and be more like China, Russia, and Europe as a whole!
QQ more. Inheritance and legacy wealth are awesome.
