I'm in favor of the perfect balance, be the most capitalistic possible to favor the economy, and strongest government possible to make sure none fucks over others while doing capitalism. A.k.a. heavily regulated capitalism, governed with strong moral standard, chosen democratically by the few % who are truly CHOSEN, as in the glorious ROMAN REPUBLIC. If you use Facebook, watch porn, TV, no (or humanities) degree, no child, pump and dump, etc, then no voting right for you. Because there is always a LOW-FUNCTIONING MAJORITY that undermines the system by being able to vote.
 
I don't support fucking with private property and stealing money. Also, no, the 1% can't afford anything. Bezos could afford paying 50 bucks to every inhabitant on the planet and then he'd already be broke. The amount of money possessed by people is ridiculously small compared to money flows and production. If the top 100 richest guys in the earth united, they could pay a low wage to every person on Earth for a month and then they would all be fucking pennyless.

Also the "if you become rich you make other people poorer" theory is bullshit. You people act as if there was still the same amount of money in circulation in 2018 as in 1850.
I don't think that you understand just how much Bezos is worth, nor do I think you understand how little he pays in taxes (it's none, by the way). I'm not saying, also, that The Rich should pay for EVERYONE in the world, literally all I'm asking is that they fairly contribute to the general welfare of society for once. Honestly the only "elite" people I've actually seen doing good are the Gates family, and even they do everything they can to weasel out of paying taxes

Sounds like socialism, minus that dystopian bit where you want to regulate who votes
