My favorite comment on the article is “The problem with capitalism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money."

    Which is the typical ad hominem to respond to the unanswerable charge that the rich have taken our middle class lifestyle and replaced it with poverty, reduced even the wealthy to just getting by status. Use emotional arguments, and slander, to obscure the issue.

    The one here, that because injustice existed it doesn’t count that we all had a higher standard of living that the rich took away from us, doesn’t make any sense though does it?

    Explain to me, how it negates recognizing the rich have taken from working people, because society wasn’t egalitarian when working people extracted the highest standard of living ever?
