Being owed and making sure people are taking care of is 2 different things. Also no last sentence is spot on.

Anything short of that is an injustice.
I agree. Anything that is too big to fail is too big to exist. Government should NEVER bail out businesses.

So do I. That's why I give to charity. On the other hand, it is immoral for the government to take money from one hard working person and give it to somebody else.

As usual Mircea follows his usual path.

1. claim no one but him appears to understand what wealth it.

Yes Mircea, the vast majority here do in fact understand the difference between wealth and income. We also know income drives wealth.

2. compare groups or people to NAZI germany. In this case "NAZI style propaganda"

No Mircea, stating facts is not NAZI style propaganda. The suggestion it is shows how out of touch you are with history and factual reporting.

3. refer to the "Law of Economics" and try to conflate those as being moral

Weird fact, theres nothing relating morality to the "Laws fact theres nothing related to morality there.

4. wander off on some weird tangent unrelated to the reality of the topic, and claim they are in fact related

5. Compare wealth redistribution via taxation as theft.

This is a new one, didnt realize he was one of the "taxes are theft" crowd. LOL.

6. Blame people, state they are responsible for everything.

Hey Mircea....you voted too, so apparently you are responsible as well. Reality check though? Blaming some random person on the internet for things is just foolishness.

7. Insult someone.

And you're like an anal-retentive control freak that throws a temper tantrum, because you can't control what other people feel, think or do.
Pretty normal, what Mircea post would be complete without it?

8. state or imply that everyone but the most wealthy needs to live with the fact that their standard of living needs to drop while our productivity continues to rise, because that is how it should be.

Sigh.

Don't expect an answer to this any time soon. They don't have one, since as you eluded to, financial statistics prove otherwise. These are the same people that begrudge a single mom that wants to work on becoming a nurse getting free community college. Meanwhile they sold a few stocks last year and made 6 million dollars.

Maybe it would be helpful to recognize 99% of the People are 'too big to fail' rather than 'too big to exist'.
