For real, taking more money from the rich and giving it to the poor will not solve anything.

tr1ll
you should look into tax evasion, offshore accounts, tax havens, and tax loopholes. I don't think anyone is advocating a Robin Hood style come up off of the rich. I think more people just want them to pay their share, fairly.

Yeah that's like saying there's a politician with you best interest in mind. It just doesn't exist.
Not that I shop at walmart just saying.

It's the minimum amount they are legally allowed to pay employees. They don't care if you can support yourself adequately on it or not, if they could, they'd pay you less but it's already the minimum (legally allowed) wage

That doesn't give a pass for what the wealth gap in this country has become, I can hate both. The "game" didn't just come into existence and some dudes where like "well I guess i'll play". the "game" you are talking about was created by the "players" in it and they are perfectly fine if some people don't get to play.

And that goes back to what life is all about, survival off the fittest. If you don't like the cards you're dealt then bust your *** every second of every day to change it.
You're better off joining them and then making a change then just trying to beat them.

This. Most people are fooled in this country, it's always the "don't hate the game" crowd that somehow thinks they'll get to that level. So don't tax them, or close loop holes, because when I get rich I don't want any of that.
Temporarily embarrassed millionaires idiom fits so many in this country.

I get what you're saying I just don't necessarily agree. I think what benefits peoples chances of surviving the most is trying to change the current system I do not see myself as better off joining them because of what that means for others I would be doing nothing but contributing to harming other peoples chances of survival which is something I would not want to be a part of.

Yeah I'm actually in agreement with some of you on how big the problem is. The issueis there isn't a clear cut solution to this problem.
I mean join them then make a change when once you're "inside".

If I had to assume what he is saying or at least what I got from it is this. At one point that was the system and we changed it, yes it has had many long term affects on our society but we can't stop at "welp they just replaced it with something else whats the point" we have to keep trying to change and fix those long term affects it has had.
Things like systematic racism and wealth inequality are institutions of our society its become so much the norm that we say things like "chalk it up to the game" and "thats just the way things are" but we don't have to play that game.
Things can be changed but they can't be changed until enough people are dissatisfied with the status quo to the point where they are willing to act on it and encourage the ones who are trying to change it instead of telling them their efforts are futile.

"Dont hate the game" only works for middle school kids. YES, hate the game, make a change, go against it. "Don't hate the game" is a great way to not progress.

Why is this so hard to understand? If this needs to be explained there's no point of explaining it

Because 76% of millionaires are white. Asians, Hispanics, and Blacks are about % ish each.
Since one is more likely to stay in the same wealth class that they grow up in, race definitely plays a role.
People born poor:
Those that did move into the middle class:

The numbers aren't even in one's favor to reach the middle class. But blah blah blah the game, whatever, FOH.
