Alex P Roe<p>Perhaps we should review what <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/wealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wealth</span></a> is. And how it is obtained. Isn’t it odd that some, not all, of the rich appear to detest everyone who made and keeps them rich by making and buying their products and services?</p>
the mossy green<p>&gt;&gt; BRIAN (cont'd): ...But it isn't what happens - the rich accumulate more and more <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/wealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wealth</span></a>. It doesn't trickle down to anybody, it trickles up actually.</p><p>&gt; Q: <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/Labor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Labor</span></a> have obviously been very, very reluctant to speak about a wealth <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/tax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tax</span></a> because they say that it might drive wealth creators or <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/business" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>business</span></a> people out of the country. Do you agree with that assessment?</p><p>&gt;&gt;</p>
the mossy green<p>&gt;&gt; BRIAN: It's obvious to me that there's a feedback loop involved in <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/wealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wealth</span></a>, which to say if you get a little bit <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/rich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rich</span></a>, you are very likely to get richer. It works the other way 'round with <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/poverty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>poverty</span></a> - if you get poor, you’re very likely to get poorer, so those things are not self-correcting...it doesn't work. There's not the <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/TrickleDownTheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TrickleDownTheory</span></a> that people used to believe in...that it's good for people to get rich 'cuz that money gets dispersed among poorer people so it helps them.</p><p>&gt;&gt;</p>
the mossy green<p>&gt; Q: What's your message to....<a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/millionaires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>millionaires</span></a> or <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/billionaires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>billionaires</span></a>, you know, people like <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/ElonMusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ElonMusk</span></a> who obviously don't think the same way you do and think that they should...be allowed to accumulate their <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/wealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wealth</span></a> into the billions and billions of pounds? What would your message be for those people?</p><p>&gt;&gt;</p>
