A $1,000 per month cash handout would grow the U.S economy by $2.5 trillion, new study says

It's called society. Nobody is penalized by having only $1000000 in their bank account instead of $100000000. Especially since that money is earned on the backs of people who work just as hard and only earn a fraction of it.

If you want meritocracy you should also recognize that people who earn a billion do not work harder or are smarter than people who "only" make a million  a year.

Wealth has gotten out of hand and for the good of all society it should be mended.

People that earn billions generally own companies, companies that have employees, employees that have jobs and work for a living. 

It doesn't matter how hard or not a rich person works, expecting them to foot the bill of a crazy leftist socialist nation is fucking stupid, they already pay large amounts in tax, and generally result in the employment of thousands. 

If you want money get off your backside and earn it, use your own strength to climb higher rather than sitting down below shooting at those above you because you think it's unfair. 

I swear, nothing but new age commies. 

Their private wealth has nothing to do with their company.

There are companies that make several billions in a quarter, they are certainly not struggling to pay their employees. In fact they do everything in their power to use every possible legal loophole to  accumulate more wealth and robbing the state of billions in the process.

And guess how those companies are making money. They are making money off of people who are at the lower end of society. And guess who will profit most by poor people having more money. Exactly, companies.

This system can work when you do it right. It cannot work when you try to defend people who do not need defending and spit on people who need help.

There will come a point when there are fewer work places than there are people. And then you can shove your "if they want money they just need to work" attitude.
