    Right, which is productivity and wealth since that means you are self reliant or can help those who are not

      It’s not though because people exploit you for your labour. People like Bezos aren’t multibillionares because they work 10000x harder than a minimum wage worker, they get that wealth by exploiting others. And people like him don’t take the first few million and retire, they hoard all that wealth because people who are willing to exploit people to thay degree and make people piss in bottles aren’t going to be people who give a shit about helping other people.

      We could live in a society where you’re free to work a little harder and be rewarded for it because you have to ability to do so and any extra cash you earnt could go to helping those less fortunate who aren’t able to work as much as you do.
