Ambitious does not equate to hard-working.

I am hard-working, results don't equate to input.

Do you think someone sitting on rising stocks is 'hard-working' as they take all the value from others?

Clearly.

You've written about 200 posts in this thread since you started it a week ago, yet have failed to convince anyone of anything.

Well you certainly have been working very hard in this thread trying to convince everybody that your stupid ideas have a shred of merit.
And your right results don’t equal input ... so far it appears you’ve had zero success which is an outcome it sounds like you’re familiar with.

Keep on trollin’

lol, how did "someone" get the rising stocks in the first place?? Yes they are hard working. I know quite a few very wealthy people who are stock owners. How did they get that way?? let's see, busted their you know whats to put themselves through usually 8 years of school after high school. Got jobs and worked very hard for 30 years while knowing the value of saving and investing.

They are not "taking" a damn thing, they earned every single nickel. Yes somethings results absolutely do equate to input.

"If there was no competition they would be able to survive just fine" lol...yes, with no one competing, any business would be fine. You will always have competition. There will always be people trying to find a better way to do things.

And again, your example only survives because of government grants (it's registered as a non-profit so that is specifically qualifies for the government funds that it relies on)
lol and if you scroll down to the bottom of every one of his "examples" they all ask for "donations".

Evergreen "invites" you to "make a gift". lol, translation: oh we're surviving because other people are footing the bill.

So guys, I'm starting my own "cooperative" it's called "shewantstoretiretoday". help a sister out and become a partner in our efforts to build a community wealth.

Cooperatives require support because they are not modeled after a free market economy where market share is controlled by the largest competitor, private capital can be accumulated, and money equals power.

They offer a vision of a post-capitalist society.

Capital Gains aren't income, it is increased value from external affects.

If I buy a plot of land, sell it 10 years later for a profit, how am I creating wealth?

I'm sure you know hard-working people who got rich from capital gains.

But if you look at the feedback loop, it's just a process to concentrate wealth into the hands of a few, which makes freedom less accessible.
