Sure sounded like it was directed towards me. I apologize if it wasn't.

you are making the cardinal mistake of BLAMING OTHERS for their success.
you are regurgitating the talking points of the Occupy-Tards who produce nothing but rage and solve no problem except how to keep pointless dumbasses from cluttering up our streets and marketplaces with beggars and indolent fools
"wealth distribution" has ALWAYS been unfair and always will be.
you want more stuff, work for it.
your "power in numbers" and desperate attempts to define yourself in a "class" is simple marxist theory. you are not "middle class".
the Middle class is the Petty Bourgeois, shopkeepers, merchants, and capital investors.
if your hands get dirty from your efforts, then you are "Working Class", no matter how high your wage might be.
the "Working Class" is further subdivided into the "Proletariat", who can be readily radicalized becuase they feel oppressed and are "Politically Conscious" enough to embrace the ideas of "Scientific Marxism" and the "Lumpen Proletariat" who are dimwitted sheep. the "Lumpen Proletariat" are simply dead weight until their passions are inflamed with bombastic rhetoric, and they are driven to action by a sufficiently charismatic leader.
thats you.
you do not comprehend the REASONS why you are outraged, save that "shit seems unfair" and have no proposal beyond blind anger, and are now casting about for a leader who will guide you to a solution.
sorry bro. you are a Lumpen Proletarian.

Tldr version of kkkynes' newest manifesto:
"it is your fault that you're poor because you don't bootstrap yourself up and become a 1%er so that you can be the douchebag hoarding wealth you'll never use. A bunch of Marxist bs. You're just jealous. Labor creates no wealth, only job creators do."

Please elaborate on your bootstraps and the wealth you hoard from the public purse.

Bill Gates is a wealthy man right?
Well, how is he wealthy? By owning pieces of paper in a company he built. A company where thousands of people work each day for compensation.
His wealth is not *sitting around*. It is generating income for thousands and thousands of people and generating products and services the public wants and needs.
If Bill Gates company closed tomorrow there would be no wealth. All it would be is worthless stock certificates and thousands of unemployed people. So, where did the wealth go?
The wealth that Bill Gates has is contributed by investors who voluntarily chose to buy his stock. Those same investors could sell it to someone else tomorrow. They are the ones responsible for his wealth.
If you understood inflation you would also understand that anyone sitting around with piles of *wealth* that are not invested in the market in some way is losing money daily. Rich people dont get and stay rich by losing money. They take that wealth and invest it back into the markets by investing it.

When the economy does better rich people make more money.
Rich people making more money spend more money.
The money they spend trickles down to the business owners who have more money to expand or pay better wages.
The people that are getting paid better buy more things and the cycle continues.
Trickle down does not guarantee that you get rich sitting on your ass, it describes a rising tide lifting all boats.

A more even and fair distribution of wealth, is that to much to ask?

Yes. Next question?
AC, like most progs have absolutely no clue what trickle down means,let alone how it works. It's just a catchy liberal phrase that half wits like him use when they can't participate in any kind of discussion relating to the economy.
