How capitalism works?

Teddy started the inheritance tax so that families would not accumulate enormous wealth over time. He was very rich and knew who he was talking about. They would use their wealth and power to change the country to make them even richer and more powerful. The idea of equality and fairness is just a poor people's belief, The Duponts, Vanderbilt, and Kochs are others have no use for it. Teddy was right.

yeah.

but none of that worked.

they have trusts and slush funds. charities.

dark pools of arbitrage cash.

corrupt friends in high places.

power is the real wealth isn't it?

do you think we should reverse citizens united to stop corporate briberization of our nation in broad daylight?
 
Withholding? The inheritance tax does nothing until you hit 5.5 million, 11 for a couple. Then it is a small percentage of what comes over that 11 million.

$12.6 million is the current lifetime exclusion with The Oligarchy. Some States also charge an inheritance tax. Some have no limits or exclusions.

What is wrong with accumulating wealth?????!?

No. Socialism doesn't work.

They also employ a lot of people doing it, and produce a product or service that people want.

Capitalism is completely fair. Anyone can play. Just create a product or service. Be worth something to somebody.
The Duponts, Vanderbilt, and Kochs are others have no use for it.
They do. They are running a business and producing products and services people want. They employ a lot of people to do it.
Teddy was right.
No. Socialism doesn't work. It is theft.
 
No. Socialism doesn't work.

It's literally impossible for human civilization to exist without some measure of socialism.
Only the most afflicted of the mentally debilitated don't find this self-evident.
How do so many of them, like Milquetoast Macaw, wind up on this forum?
 
The oppression is real, but it doesn't represent a caste system.
It merely represents incompetent social management.
It represents capitalism with insufficient socialist moderation.

If capitalism and socialism don't work in well-balanced parallel,
as they don't in America--or North Korea, going the other way--
a socially regressive society is the only possible result.

allowing the world economic forum to institute global fascism and eugenics doesn't help anything, fool.

People living on the same planet are fully within their rights to decide how unified that they wish to be, economically or otherwise..

AssHat has an opinion, whether or not it's an informed one, but it's just an opinion no more valid than those who seek more global solidarity.

Global fascism is imposed not selected.
