Let's take a look at wealth, if you had taken away all of Elon's Wealth would SpaceX exist or Tesla in fact most of the technology we have today would never have been invented.
You realize that technology does not just appear out of no place.

Trudeau doesn't want to be a leader like Fidel ... he doesn't have the balls to be that. All he wants is to get rich ... and play nice boy to the whole world to disguise his selfish interests.Quote:

I guess that's why musk cut the wages of his employees during this pandemic, while his worth rose astronomically. To fund 'research'. lol.Quote:

Let's see.... based on what they openly say at the World Economic Forum... you know that big event in Davos where the Liberal's went...
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/poli...-nearly-70000/
well they openly say
No possessions
No privacy
... so essentially like Cuba and other Communist countries where freedoms and private property are not allowed... essentially a gov't owned and gov't controlled people .... there are people so pathetic they would like that it seems and of course our elites like Trudeau etc. at the top living the life of luxury.
No need to work hard or innovate just do what you are told,including being told to be happy.... "own nothing" ... so forget working hard to give your kids a leg up or saving grandpa's old shotgun... they would be gone in their ideal.
Works in Cuba ... NOT!

Tens of thousands of Cubans have fled since President Barack Obama announced the normalization of relations between the countries in late 2014.
I still do not understand the ultimate objective though. The world's top 1% can basically buy what they want right now ... anything they want. So, what does it change if they own the whole world? There lifestyle won't change ... it can't get any better than it is right now, not unless technology introduces something fascinating like time travel ... or transportation ...Quote:

Anyhow, I just don't see what the purpose is when the goal is just to become more rich.
NO they do not. It I snot our responsibility to look after them - case in point First Nations Safe drinking water...how many year it has been promised, and yet Trudeau has dished billions of dollars to other countries. It the people who are responsible for their own welfare. By your methodology - my son is poor and I want you to raise his level of income by giving more of what you earn to him. If you dont agree to raise him up with your money, then your statement is false and is just virtue signalling. I/We owe you nothing and you are responsible for own life, as with those in other countries. Those government are responsible. What you propose is called wealth redistribution - and part of communist doctrine that everything is owned by the state and you get a percentage. Man your commie colors are showing hard now. You tell me, how much of my hard work and wealth are you entitled to???Quote:

Just go to the website and plug in differences based on property value. The rape of rural taxpayers continues.Quote:

Just remember it's a whole heck of alot easier to make mega bucks when you have a little bit .
There is a new millionaire every week and some can turn that million into 10 easy. You can then turn that 10 into 100 million
Others will blow it faster than it takes me to drink a 24 lol.
