Yes, but many of these have one form or another of "take from the middle class and give to everyone else". I wasn't arguing that governments don't do anything, it's that they don't do enough to limit the size if the parasitic rich class, while the original post was saying that this is the best system we've got. |

Do you consider it ok to dehumanize your fellow humans by comparing them to parasites?
Also, how can you be so sure that the metaphor even works? Do you truely believe that everyone else would be better off if the top 0.1% richest people in the world had never been born, and never started all those big companies they own?
Because that's what it means to be a "parasite". To consume resources you have no part in creating.
Or is the word "parasictic" ONLY used as a means to dehumanize a group you detest, without even being meant to be seen as a metaphor?
I don't mind having a discussion about how to best distribute the economic output of the economy, but calling one group or another parasites is not a good start.
