Most people won't work if they are able. This is quite literally the main incentive behind hard work and investments today.
Like if instead of buying an apartment at mortgage I would be able to just receive one, I would pack my savings into crypto, get the space, and play games 24/7 till I die. Maybe I'd get bored and start doing some personal project, but most likely I won't.
I'm in top 4% earners in my country btw, my taxes pay roughly for ~4 person welfares. If people like me have no incentive to continue working the system you build will collapse super fast.
You could've just said you were an elistist shitbag from the beginning and saved everyone time.
Edit: you clearly don't know what real life is like. Enjoy your privilege. Gfys
I'm working class. You are welfare class.
I'm done here.
Fucking lol.
You're either a damn liar (nobody does that on the internet!), or you're owner class. If you're actually in the top 4%, it's all the people below you that are working class. You just suck up their labor, you parasite.
Ever hear of the precariat?
It's growing. It's coming for you.
I literally work and earn my money. I have less assets than good chunk of "poor" people have.
So I don't understand how I suck up anyones labour. It's the opposite actually, those who didn't try to get education and a decent job are now getting welfare from the state from my progressive taxes.
Oh for lives of leisure.
So that we may all become polymaths.
Rather than lives of distraction from our toils done under duress, keeping us as specialists, cogs in the machine, ignorant to all else.
