0.1% of all people control 99% of the resources, are you willing to live in a world like this?

Currently I don't have a specific reason to actively go against it, so yes, so far I'm ok with being alive.

i dont work so...

Think for a moment what you said. Through all the history, the resources are being held by the rich in an ever increasing manner. It means at some point your kin and genetic line will cease to exist due to lack of resources. So not only you but the whole line of your kin will be dead,..permanently.

It has nothing to do with "working". Only 10% of the wealth of the upper 1% in America is generated by "working".
"working" is nothing more than exploitation.

Why do you think you deserve more resources?

Last time I checked, poor people in the West were dying of obesity & heart issues, cause they eat too much, drink alcohol, dont exercise and sit in front of TV all day. Poor people are also breeding quite well, in fact, faster than highly educated and busy people.

Having money does not equal being useful to society. In fact, if you are making large sums of money it is because you are selling something for more than it is worth and effectively taking money away from your customers.

Capitalism and meritocracies are very very far removed from one another.

Why do you arbitrarily decide that something is "worth less"? People pay exactly what they want for an item or service, if you let them freely interact between themselves. Only when the government meddles into business, something is sold at less or at more than it's really worth on the free market.

Just having money under your pillow or wasting it for stupid things, no. Having money to invest, create jobs and eventually pay taxes, does benefit society.

Actually, they dont breed well. Some research in Germany shows 50% of males dont have enough spermatozoids per something to cover the minimum required for conceiving a child. Its due to mass plastic pollution cos they use cheap plastics which start to decay too fast and emit dangerous plastificators.
People are dying of "obesity & heart issues" cos they feed with garbage /lack of resources, m8/.
The crazy dis-balance of resources also mean that in case of major catastrophe only those with resources will survive. But they are breeding between themselves /in order to preserve wealth/ which means introduction of genetic malformations.

Personally I do deserve more resources /as well as you/ simply because our goal is to survive as a whole. This will not happen with current distribution. Also, the resources are limited and those 0.1% are stealing massively from the future generations.

This is one of the greatest lies. Free market does not exist, never existed and will never exist. /except in POE/.
Its a pure propaganda. You will always get cartels, monopolies, price protections and etc.

This also pure propaganda and lie. As current situation shows, taxes do not redistribute wealth at all. "invest, create jobs" pls dude, they invest often in totally useless to society stuff and it never bring any benefit to people.
