"As society as a whole gets more wealthy wealth will eventually trickle down from the rich to the poor even in a capitalist economy." Agree/disagree?

[Still-alive]

Another question from this test i found online

Strongly agree

agree

Disagree.

Strongly Disagree

It depends (say how)

im undecided/see results

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I disagree. Wealth is going to create jobs to serve the rich and hell with the poor

[msmissydc]

Yes thats how it works, just give money to the rich relieve them of taxes and of course if they make debts pay it for them from state money. Later this will make them happy enough so they invest it to make jobs.
/S
THIS IS IRONY!!!

The poor live off the scraps the rich don't want.

Wealth does not trickle down it gets directed into the bank accounts of family members or locked into shares, bonds etc

[goaded]

My God, they've been saying that since I was in primary school over 40 years ago, and it still hasn't happened. How anyone can still believe that bullshit is beyond me.

@goaded
Come on! The trickle down is imminent.
Just one more coin…..

[goaded]

@RainbowMarinade Any. Moment. Now...

not until the one percent of the one percentage status quo families are dealt with. And their lackey middle men, and women. Guess for now its Jacob-Israel vs Esau-Rome until the end times plays out.

Capitalism isn't designed to handle equal distribution of wealth. There's gomna be rich and poor or rich and dead but robots will take place.

[goaded]

Nobody wants equal, they want deserved. A difference of 10 or even 20 to one is reasonable, CEOs "earning" multiple hundreds of times what their employees get paid is not.

Indeed it's even worse than gamble tbh coz u dont even know the ods here

Like hell it will.

Think Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Zuckerberg and the others are sharing anything?

[goaded]

Much as I hate what he did to the computer industry, at least Gates is spending money on people.

[Unit1]

@goaded I didn't see that.

I disagree. The only way to get wealthy is to work hard for it. It's not going to just fall in your lap

[AngryCarl]

Unless you inherit. cough (Donald Trump) cough

[jamesgoldman]

In general no, too much stays inter-generationally

In self made cases it usually works

[AngryCarl]

If that's how it works the wealthy are doing something wrong. The whole intention of capitalism is that wealth trickles UP.

As society gets wealthier inequality grows with it,,,
