The left: wealth is a zero sum game
The right: π€¦ββοΈno, itβs not
Sorry I don't understand. Which policies of the right support what you're suggesting?
The imaginary ones.
Trickle down economics is based on philosophy that wealth is positive sum
My comment is about philosophy, not policy.
The idea that rich people are rich because poor people are poor is a leftist idea. It assumes wealth is a finite thing, which must be taken away from one party to accumulate with another.
Wealth is finite. By definition. There is a scarcity of resources in the world. A few people have most of it. You've been on earth before right?
