The kind of economic views that get heavily upvoted on Reddit really terrify me, because I view it as an indication of the future as our generations age. They don't even seem like economic views, but rather moral values wearing the clothes of economic opinions.
Again, this seems to come from some idea that there 'should be fairness.' If you think billionares shouldn't earn that much more because they're not capable, do you think people should be rewarded proportionally according to how capable they are?

I simply believe that the needs of the many (>99.9% of society) outweigh the wants of the few. I am a programmer. I am aware of the fact that we have machines that can do the labor of a human x100 or x1e9 or more. Humanity has the resources to provide for most people.

In the long run this would be beneficial because more often than not they're billionaires are not because they're brilliant but because they have a greater drive to "win at all costs", suppressing the potential of others.
