[quote:Anonymous Coward 33751951:MV8yMTU3NTY0XzM2NDY5MjkxXzI1RTkyMjVG] More class warfare yay. Okay, I get that the distribution of wealth in the country is skewed heavily in favor of the wealthy. And I get that the authors of that video think that this is a bad thing (else why the lugubrious/menacing music). Here's the fundamental question, however: Does a skewed distribution of wealth make me any less of a person or make my life any less worth living? I would submit that, so long as I can supply myself with the necessities of life and some quantum of the things that I might not need but want, then, no, it does not. Bill Gates has many, many times more money than I have. Does it make him happier than I am? More of a person than I am? Does it have any real impact on me whatsoever? Not really. Leftist thinkers like to posit that leftists are more concerned with the interests of the collective, the arts, learning, caring for others and that sort of thing; and that the right/republicans/conservatives are simply money grubbing, shallow greed heads. It has always stuck me as ironic, then, that those on the left spend so much of their time jealously pondering other people's money and figuring ways to classify its accumulation as a social ill and then how to get their hands on it.
