      Many socialists think that wealth & value can’t be created, only redistributed. If you have more, it’s because someone out there has less. You haven’t created something that’s added value, you’ve just unfairly taken value from other people.

      Yes, they do. I literally posted a graph that showed the overall share of wealth in China diverging, and people conflated that with the number of poor people increasing. People reasoned that if people had more, it’s because they must have taken it from poor.

      The idea that wealth can be added to an economy, and that everyone has more, just some people see a bigger increase than others is flat or rejected.

      Even though the pie gets bigger redistribution can still be justified if, and only if, the net gain from it is greater than the net disincentive it creates. Chicago school vs Keynesian disagree on this one. A more important factor is who is incentivized to reproduce.

          Theft is immoral. Giving the stolen goods to the less fortunate doesn’t make it right. Glad you at least recognize that it is theft, though.

          Extortion is a synonym of theft. Either word he uses here doesn’t change the fact that theft is theft no matter what word you use.

          So many people are confused as to what wealth is. Wealth is money. What is money? Money is a tangible form of work performed. Money comes from effort. Without someone's initial effort, there is nothing to redistribute. Poor people would hate to acknowledge this.

          This is nonsense. Government spending still stimulates the economy.

          Lol 1) not when the spending is done at the expense of job producers for the sake of those who don’t produce and 2) that’s not the government’s job anyway.

          It should only ever be the successful people who are incentivized to reproduce. Low IQ people are a drain on a society and become a permanent underclass because they breed far too much. The unseen costs of taking money violently though taxes are massive to the economy.

          You can stretch a pie but if nothing has been added to it everyone gets a thinner piece of pie basically 😁

          Well then you two need to take another look at the FED, i.e. Modern Money Mechanics and a little thing called interest. Meaning, the pie can absolutley get bigger.

          Perceived gains in wealth are offset by a little thing called inflation... Remember our parents and grandparents bought cars for $2,000 and houses for $15,000. It’s all a shell game if you ask me. It’s complicated and confusing by design.

          Whether perceived or actual you are right. Inflation is a terrible game, created much by the existence of interest, and yes, it designed to be confusing.

          Interest is the fee to borrow money. Inflation is mostly caused by labor, the need by employer to pay more to attract new talent and to give workers raises to retain talent. Increased costs are passed onto consumers. Currency manipulation is another factor that affects inflation

          Apart from an artificial devaluation of currency, if a set /hr or salary for every job was publicly known (and no one ever got a raise in any county), costs to produce goods would never go up, in theory. Price increases could not be justified and inflation would cease to exist.

          Greed and supply/demand are also at play but to a lesser extent in my mind. Unlike labor costs, which only seem to go up, supply and demand factors can increase AND also lower costs. Consider farmed foods, which prices haven’t gone up as much, those are the lowest paying jobs.
