You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. Why is there even a need for the poor to exist?
What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. This was the way in the ex Yugoslavia, i understand this, but we as humans must have the discipline embedded into us as children not do do this.
The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. Why must the government take anything at all?
You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it! What do we need to mutiply? More iphones that look exactly the same as the previous version? (just an example)
When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation. You are aboslutley right, but it is upon us to do our very best. One of the most poisonus things in the world is by my opinon: LAZYNESS. So let us be an example to everyone else, and work as hard as we can, and meanwhile teach our kids what it means and for what reason must we work so hard.
