Society/Culture Why is there not a salary cap, for life?

Yes like that
Good to see it is beginning to take off in Australia and to be more visible.
I'd don't see why they should be afraid. When Kerry Packer made that very generous gift of heart defribulators all those years ago the Australian public heaped praise on him.

Probably because as soon as certain people know others have money they then target them for abuse or other questionable actions.

OP doesn't envy 240 million dollars nor does OP hate people over a certain asset level (240m / 1billion etc.)

How can you draw such a conclusion from OP?

It is more a case, of attempted to help the planets endless needy, rather than envy or hate OP can assure you

This is a clear example of theft, you know...The State using their powers to limit or steal people's money/property above a certain limit, reminds me of that ism...Socialism.

There is nothing compassionate about stealing from one group and redistributing it to another. If you want compassion to help the needy, donate your OWN time and money and stop forcing other groups to do what you think is best through elected officials.

Like robin hood ?

How is it not compassion - to take from someone with a billion, and give it to someone with zero?

So you are no better than someone who mugs you in the street!

 

[awaremind]

I think if you are smart enough to make a great fortune, you deserve it, you are a king.
But why should your spoilt brat kids and grandkids get to lord it for their whole lives ?
Even so, the reason we do not have true democracy, but rather oligarchy, is that money buys influence if you wish it to. Realistically our votes mean nothing when the politicians promises are mostly lies, and Rupert Murdoch and the state department are the ones who really decide our leaders and our foreign policy.

Robin hood took back tax money the government stole from peasants.
You are taking money from a group of people by force. FORCE.

It's easy to be 'compassionate' with other people's money.

Such substance to your argument.
I consider myself defeated.

Assume the street robbery - only robs people with plus one billion assets, and makes sure they have a total of plus one billion after said mugging, then it'd be pretty similar indeed.

Last week some Americas were forced to not leave home after ten at night...

We are forced to pay tax

We are forced to allow the gov. To read our Internet history and phone calls

Sometimes, We are forced to not drink grog (America) prohibition

We are forced to drive a certain speed

Sometimes, we are forced to join a war or put in jail

Etc.

What is wrong with a forceful rule, insisting when a man reaches a certain level of obscene wealth, the rest after this point goes to humans that require help?

When the capitalism system failed due to greed we forced to accept socialist type goverment bail outs of private banks.

Does the Nordic model, which is still democratic / capitalism, not force people to do certain things? Doe it not work quite well on the proof thus far?

God also gave us free will and the choice to give what is yours to others. It is still not right to steal.

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

A salary cap off one thousand million dollars (for example), is a pretty high level, to be FORCED to remain under. Would you not agree?



Why are you defensive?

Who's gonna do the enforcing?

In the end, either the oligarchs of the world win and they become the eternal masters and the masses become slaves or pets, or the people take the power back French revolution style.

Doesn't that just leave a different group of campaigners up at the top of society?

You're a member of the Young Liberals, aren't you? You took umbrage at them being criticised before.

My cousin is also a Young Liberal, and I knew a few at uni. they all grew out of their beliefs once they had to get real jobs. Those that didn't end up becoming political staffers, anyway.

Look, I agree with you when it comes to the banks being bailed out, prohibition, allowing the government to read our stuff and curfews. They are all reasons why big government and crony capitalism are bad things. I would have included taxes in but I assume you related it to some class warfare classification, now if you said paying income, company taxes etc were wrong then I would agree as I would prefer both to be abolished. (Won't happen for a while so any cuts for whatever excuses are fine)

You still haven't answered my main point, why is it acceptable to take from one group of people by force and give it to another? Would you like it if I took some of the cash in your wallet and claimed that I was doing my job of helping the poor? The 'evil' wealthy stashing their cash away in the banks is a good thing, provides capital for the banks to lend out to ordinary people and businesses which helps drives economic growth, savings which is a better alternative than the money being squandered by the government.

Bill Gates is the ultimate embarrassment to western governments. He has single handily spent more money on malaria research than the combined efforts of all western governments. It is also worth noting that his trust will hold the rights to any medical breakthrough they make to reinvest royalty money into other medical research and allow the drug to be produced cheaply by third world countries, thus stopping giant pharmaceutical companies from leeching billions from the third world.
