hard true is that not everyone can be CEO, who would do the mining than? Yes sometimes some people get into their position not by their skills and hard work but by luck. But you still have chance to get there with bit of luck and hard working. Yes most of us will not be lucky as Bezos to find such a huge hole in the marked and be so skilled and driven to expose it. But most of us can start small company and be mildly successful. There will always be some kind of hierarchy until we reach post scarcity society (and maybe even after). As much I don't like greed driven economy its also only model that forced humanity to move forward (so far, i can also see how it can slow down progress on purpose). But Socialist model will always leads to corruption and positions being allocated not on merit but on arbitrary traits like political leaning. Thats why CCCP was unable to compete with west. Thats why South American countries are failing. Socialism can work for robots, not for humans - because ironically we are strongly motivated by 'greed' and lazyness.
I am for some form of 'free' health care and education but there always have to be 'better' option without state control. But this is always creating elitism. So pick your poison
and again. biggest issue are tax heavens. If those filthy rich people are able to evade paying taxes the majority of 'poor' people gets screwed. I am surprised that there is no push from all contries around globe to just forbid it. It would make such big positive impact on lives of people all around the globe... maybe conspiracy theory?
