See, it wasn't really a risk for me to spend 20k. Comparatively speaking, that's probably something like a minimum wage employee risking a dime. That's the inherent unfairness in the system. I can just give 20k to my favorite charity and not even be mildly impacted. Chances are, I won't even save the receipt to give to my accountant for tax purposes. That'd buy someone a nice new car. It's not fair. I am definitely at an advantage. Now, I earned that advantage. I worked for that advantage. That doesn't make it any more fair. I'm not happy with the word fair, as it implies morality. I'm also far more able to help those who need it, and I do. So, from a moral viewpoint, I'm very much okay with it. That doesn't really make it fair, however. What's Joe Sixpack going to do by investing a dime in a single go? Not much. I made enough on just Tesla to buy Joe's house, spending the equivalent of a dime. It is what it is, but it's a huge advantage. I'm not suggesting it's morally unacceptable, just a reality. I'm not even suggesting we can change the system, just expressing the reality. |
