"I do not understand why you would not understand that most all things start with capital, and most of the time that comes from wealth people. They may have the cash or even take out a mortgage on the home but they are willing to take the risk. Take that away, or penalize them and you have a failure in the economy!"


Your post shows you understand the flaws in your argument:


"most all things start with capital" Most, indeed, but not all. You understand and admit that. But is the capital more important than the work to exploit it to advantage?


"most of the time that comes from wealth people." Again, most of the time the capital comes from the people who have wealth. The top 1% own more wealth than the combined wealth of the bottom 50%. You can't get blood from a stone.


 


And then you revert to the usual Trumpist hyperbole:


"Take that away, or penalize them and you have a failure in the economy!"


I never said anything about taking away or penalizing anybody, did I? 


I asked is "Putting wealth to work is more important than working?"



The rational answer is no, that it's not. The work is what is important, it is what is productive. Before there was capital, there was work, N'est-ce pas?
