"The accumulation of wealth at the top doesn't mean the policies have benefitted them"

The liberal national anthem

Yes, there are some policies that couls be considered corporate welfare and they should be ended.

But. to jump from there to " the rich get rich only because the deck is stacked in their favor "

What to make of the small business owners who make up a big portion of the "rich" ( making over 250K/ ). What to make of the large number of hip hop artists making mega millions- was the deck stacked in their favor? Bill Gates, Mark Cuban, the Google founders??? All the silicon valley/high tech innovators who created fabulous wealth.

Yeah, it had nothing to do with their vision, it was just the stacked deck

The Constitution was designed to allow of opportunity, not guarantee results- not " from each according to ability, to each according to need"

Rather than whining about people who have succeeded, it might be more productive to spend the time thinking about ways to make yourself more productive

It's the old "pie model". You think that someone creating wealth HAS to come at the expense of someone else, rather than creating new value. It's really a pathetic view of the world. leading to the class envy you manage to hold on to
