The actual process is observation, hypothesis, test, conclusion, repeat as necessary.

That is how science is supposed to work but when politics gets involved it starts with the conclusion and then tries to build on that. And when it makes no sense whatsoever that is when the "science" is supported by coercion. That when we're told "the science is settled" and called a "science denier" if you question the "science".

so you think basic science I can prove right is more enslaving than 1 percent of the population having more money than 50 percent of people

If your wealth increases by 50% and someone else's increases by 100%, are you poorer?

Factually false, you're not upset that people are poor you're jealous that some have more.

Everyone should be equal. If money exists then inequality will

No one will ever be equal. You also side stepped the question and the point.

Currency will always exist, even if it's not actual money. Instead it will be influence and power. Capitalism is a basic law of nature.

capitalism has only existed for 400 years
0 ups, 1mo
Capitalism has existed forever. You can even see it in the wild with the circle of life where the marketplace is food and supply and demand are scarcity and survival of the fittest. It's a natural law.

That's not the question? The question is, is wealth finite? Is there only a set amount of wealth and after that there is no more wealth?

What is wealth?

Why do you feel enslaved by the richest 1%? What are they making you do that you don't want to do?

Look, you can bow down and kiss Karl Marx' feet all day long but the foundation your entire argument is built on is wrong. You need to not just think outside the box, you need to abandon that box altogether.

The 1% are not controlling me. I'm not enslaved to them.

They re pricing you to work to make them richer. This is explained in Rose and the Red Scarf

But if I work then don't I get something in return? Inflation is caused by specific government policy. If they print money money than the value that backs the currency then the currency is worth less. The more money is printed (or digitized) the more the value goes down. When the currency drops in value it takes more currency to pay for everything.

Inflation does not happen because businesses raise their prices. It would take a superhuman effort for the business world to try to pull that off and it just would never work. If everyone raised their prices, it wouldn't take more than a day before they all went back down because there will always be people who want to undercut the next guy in prices.

If you're advertising your book and it's based of a false premise then what incentive do I have to buy it?

Wanna hear the story of rose and the red scarf

Once upon a time there were a group of greedy rich people who only wanted more wealth. They forced the common people to work so that the money would go to the rich people. The common people were basically slaves. But they didn't know because the rich people said they could be rich too if they worked hard enough, but that was all a lie. They just wanted more productivity they could sell for money. One day a girl named Rose said she thought this was wrong, but many rejected her even though she wanted to help. They were pushing back the hand trying to pull them up. But then when she was making clothes, she saw a glowing red piece of fabric she decided to steal and wear as a scarf. The scarf started talking to her and started telling her she is right.

Oh. I get it. It's fiction. It's a dystopian world where if the rich didn't exist then no one would ever have to work. We could all just sit around starving to death but being happy that we would never ever have to lift a finger to do anything ever again. And we all have magic talking scarves to let us know that we never have to work for anything.

The fact is this. People get rich all the time. Rich people go broke all the time. It is not a monolithic world out there. The rich don't stay rich because of all of the money they accumulated, they stay rich because they have to work at it. Otherwise all of that money would just go away. You see, rich people spend money also, lots of money because they have lots of money. They do not hoard that money because they have to eat, buy clothes, buy gas, make mortgage payments, pay for utilities. But mostly they pay taxes. The top 1% pays 90% of all income tax collected by the IRS.

Here is the problem with your entire premise. Your argument ONLY works if wealth is finite. It is not, it's infinite. Wealth is not money. Wealth is the value of a good and/or service. Wealth is intangible. You can pick a TV but that is not wealth, it is the product an exchange for something you value less than the TV because to you that TV has some utilitarian value.

Here is how you get wealthy. Wealth is created in the exchange of an item you value less for an item you value more. The other person who you are making this exchange with also values what he is selling less than what you are giving him. And just like that both of you now have items that you both value a lot. You are both now wealthier. And this is repeated every time you buy something, you both become wealthier.

But there is a down size. Marxists. Marxists have infiltrated our government, our schools, our news media and our entertainment media. They preach ideas like the rich do not exchange one value for another. No. The rich just come along and steal your money leaving you with nothing... well.. except for that product or service you've wanted or needed.

And now you're trying to tell me that the rich are enslaving us all. And it is not just the guy I work for, it is all of the rich. Every last one of them is enslaving me. That is 100% USDA Select bull crap. The rich have no power over me. I don't have to work for anyone. I can start my own business. I can write a book that perpetuates a false narrative. I can be a farmer.

You should give one of your books rights to someone that hasn't wrote any. Or you're not equal.

It's not hard to understand, you did more in literature, so you have more literary wealth, so you should give some of it to someone with less.

You could just plainly word in on a piece of paper, sign it, and have have the other party sign it and give them the text to the book/story.
