It's funny how the "hard choices" fingerwagging never comes out to scold the parts of the economy where rich people get paid for being rich in proportion to how rich they are, and it's such a dogmatic article of faith that the gross excess over there couldn't possibly have anything to do with the deprivation over here.

Equally dogmatic take. A lot of scarcity is artificial.

[smallmancontrov]

Yep. Move all the money into the capital economy and all the taxes into the labor economy and whoops! The well ran dry! Better cut social programs, nothing else to be done, no sir!

I'm not sure what your point is, are you complaining about... compound interest?

[smallmancontrov]

No, I'm complaining about r>g.
