heck me, you are faster and looser with 'facts' than hodgepodge is. The world is an unfair place - get over it and get back to work. Go and live in Russia or North Korea if you want to experience socialism in its finest glory.
That's a nothing argument. Derp socialism derp soviet Russia, therefore it is not immoral that the elite can manipulate the system in favour of themselves while the gap between the rich and poor widens with each generation, all the while there are people living in gross poverty with no or little access to water, medicine, opportunities, or food.

Whatever helps you sleep at night, I suppose
Do you need to have a solution to stop all murders before you are able to point out that it is immoral to murder and that we should try find solutions to prevent it?
How dumb. I'll go murder someone then because everyone who argues that it is immoral to murder can't find the solution to stop me and others from murdering, and therefore I don't need to feel bad about it or acknowledge that by murdering someone I have done something fundamentally immoralAhh, so you got nuthin'
drip, drop, can you hear a sound, drip, dropHow dumb. I'll go murder someone then because everyone who argues that it is immoral to murder can't find the solution to stop me and others from murdering, and therefore I don't need to feel bad about it or acknowledge that by murdering someone I have done something fundamentally immoral

My analogy just shows that what I am doing is pointing out an immoral behaviour, and therefore do not need a solution to do so. If you want to argue against what I am saying, you need to show how it is not immoral for a person to live in disgusting luxury whilst people around the world starve through no fault of their own, when the people could easily just redirect portions of their profits in to sustainable projects that would raise the standard of living for those most in need and subsequent generations of people, whilst not having a significant impact on their own comfort or lifestyle. - There is part of the solution.
You might be onto something there, however I think someone may have stolen your idea. Last time I looked, the solution you are proposing was called tax
I cycle
Just got back from a 20km ride: burn fat not oil!!There are always going to be rich and poor, but there never has to be the disgustingly rich and the starving to death. It's a horrible failure of the human race, and nobody seems to care.Your thoughts are noble Jazny but in the end the world isn't all roses and someone will be rich whilst others are poor. It's a shame we can't all share our wealth, it's worked so well in the past
I'm all for helping those in need but I've worked bloody hard (and been very lucky) to have the things I do, I won't be made to feel guilty for that.
They just donate a dolar to UNICEF and like a "Stop Starvation in Africa" facebook page and pretend that their job is done, then they go back to spending the rest of their lives trying to keep up with the Joneses, at the expense of living any kind of fulfilling existence. Then they make themselves feel better about the society they live in, which enables and encourages this massive wealth disparity, by calling anyone who points out how immoral it is a "communist" or tells them to go live in Russia.
Everything? Like food and water and access to medicine?
If I were to hypothetically go cry in a corner for the next hour because the world is full of fat greedy heartless capitalists, what music should I hypothetically listen to?
