Unique take on a very old idea

Rating: 5/10 (5 July 2020)

Wealth is not a zero sum game. That's what every person in America should learn. Since the dawn of free market capitalism, for the first time in history we've seen people in the bottom 10% have mobility, so that they are not always in the bottom 10%. In fact, very few people stay in the same wealth bracket their whole lives. Tax statics prove this.
Robin Hood robbing from the rich to give to the poor, sure it all sounds great...as if the rich are only rich because they steal from the poor, and the poor are only poor because the rich steal from them. That's why we evolved away from the economic systems of the 11th century.
The movie Wisdom with Emilio Estevez and Demi Moore was the exact same movie - bank robbers helping out poor farmers. Unfortunately, it doesn't do anything to solve problems, only fight them and postpone the inevitable. But in America, there is no cabal of rich people wearing suits and ties who wish to keep poor people poor. The best way out of poverty is finish school, get a job, and don't have a baby before marriage.
