I am angry because someone in line in front of me at Subway ordered a sandwich that I do not like, even though it has no effect on me. This is how arguments against equal marriage rights sound.
The capital WAS taxed far more than the labor. The labor's value was << the total value produced, and presumably was also taxed at 10% (so it paid ~0 taxes). 10% of the capital was also taken by the government in taxes - 10/100 of the car replicators were appropriated.
When you start taxing the capital income, then an EVEN LARGER PROPORTION of the capital is appropriated - 19/100 - versus the same 10% of the worker's labor.
The poor don't subsidize the wealthy. The poor receive massive net transfers of wealth from government redistribution.
The video explains how tax payers subsidize the wealthy per example of Romney.

"We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work...After eight years of this Administration, we have just as much unemployment as when we started... And an enormous debt to boot!" — Henry Morgenthau, Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Treasury secretary, 1941.
I have no problem with inheritance; that's a legitimate form of acquisition of wealth.
But when investors use tax payers' money to take risks with chance of making profit, rather than using their own money, that's not earning your own wealth.

Oh, and here's more good news for Mitt Romney.

That donor was an idiot if he thought that Mitt Romney would ever support gay marriage. Mitt Romney's position has not changed at all on that issue.

...so you don't believe in mutual funds then? Having people that know more than you investing your money for you?

Is that earning your own wealth?
Are the people running the funds earning their own wealth?

If they're investing money and using their knowledge to make a profit then sure.
That is where bonuses come in.

As long as they're paying large taxes on those bonuses and earnings (and not destroying the worlds financial system in the process), good for them.
...and if their own money is in the fund?

We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work...After eight years of this Administration, we have just as much unemployment as when we started...

So what? They're being taxed on profit made, why should it matter?
Risk is why it matters.

Explain please? They are choosing to try and gain profit by using their own money. If they had the skill but didn't want to take the risk, they could use other peoples money but the rewards would not be as great. Why should it be treated differently?
Is that what the video I posted is about? Mutual funds?

You're assuming they're using other people's money in lieu of their own. I'm saying they use others' money in addition to their own. See the difference?

Your video is weak sauce.
