RE: Would Whales be open to a redistribution of wealth for the good of Steemit?

in #steemit8 years ago

i would rather work smart and aspire to be of more value than take or even be given what someone else has built. the lesson of socialism is, if the wealth is taken from, those who gained it by creating value, they lose their incentive to create more, and so does the recipient. there is a place for charity but i don't know if anyone is starving here. maybe someone here is. i hate to make assumptions unnecessarily. charity is good for survival and bad for creativity and inspiration. let's all do our best to rise, but not at the expense of others. i am barely a minnow, i think i will learn how to swim, before i try commanding the ocean.
