<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 1491014, member: 3011"]In theory, I agree with you. In practice, throughout history, it seems that wealth and property gradually makes its way to the top [like cream, and scum] until a small group of elites live in luxury and lord it over the rest of the people living at a subsistance level -- all their own fault, of course. It is difficult to defend this as moral. Then one day the many get angry enough to realize they can overthrow the few, and the system collapses and starts all over again. Whenever you hear someone complain, "That's just class warfare," it usually comes from a member of the upper class. The upper class is continually engaged in class warfare, although they probably call it competition or free trade. The world doesn't need more rich people, it needs fewer poor people. Socialism has failed to do this, and so has the winner-take-all monopoly crony capitalism as currently practiced. I have no suggested solution to this dilemma. It's just an observation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
