Wrong BEN SHAPIRO! Re-Distribution of Wealth Is Not Motivated by Jealousy!

[DTRV]

Ben Shapiro has stated on several occasions that those who support the re-distribution of wealth concept are jealous of the wealthy. Dear Ben. Those who want a re-distribution of wealth do not want the wealth of many billionaires. They think this amount of wealth is unnecessary and leads to others leading a substantially more adverse life than is necessary. Those who who want a re-distribution of wealth are not opposed to people being wealthier than others. What they oppose is a system that excessively rewards capital corporate ownership to the point of absurdity and allows millions of those who WORK 60-80 hours a week to still suffer poverty because according to some conservatives, their labor is worth a poverty lifestyle. If they were owners of mega corporations, they would not want billions of dollars of capital to hoard in order to produce "jobs" which pay below minimum wage- a wage that fails to access dignified living conditions. They do not want to own 100s of cars to simply prove how accomplished they are when others financially struggle even when they work HARD!!! Fairness is not JEALOUSY!

If any of you have any comment you would like to share, you are free to do so.

1. The opposite argument that people that oppose paying people fair wage for their work

are simply greedy. They're more like the hoarder sitting in their house with vast quantities of pointless crap. Wealthy beyond a certain point has no added value to quality of life. The hoarding of it is just greed. It's also wasteful to a society as a whole. Millions living in object poverty unable to achieve in life while a select few simply have money for money sake.

This set up typically throughout history doesn't end well for the rich long term anyway.

4. It's not jealousy so much as . . .

The righteous anger of the plundered at the plunderers. I'm not jealous of their greed that makes them grab every loose dollar in the system. I'm not jealous of their insecurity that even after stealing all that fruit of others' labor, they're still not satisfied. I'm not jealous of their cock-eyed worldview that measures the worth of a person by the size of their bank account.
