I honestly can’t tell if you agree with me or if you don’t understand how that expression is supposed to be used.

You are cherry picking here, i said "plenty of competition, hard/good work and some scarcity"..takes more than hard work of course and other things i didn't mention, luck, ass kissing ect..

My apologies for “cherry picking” the only things that are in the workers’ control since the other ones aren’t guaranteed. But you’re welcome to continue sharing your theories and hypothetical scenarios.

As far as trickle down economics goes...as oppose to bottom up lol? There are reasons why people are where they are, most things aren't perfect ect but i know which one i would choose.

Yeah but what if, hypothetically speaking, you’re wrong? Unless you’re saying that you’re right about everything all the time and therefore you simply agreeing with something makes it right the “I know which one I would choose” isn’t an argument. It’s what people say when they don’t have an argument.

Pretty much everything is finite...that's actually a good life lesson. Why not take care of people? Cause they can take care of themselves? If they can't well maybe they need that kick in the ass.

How does kicking hard working people in the ass increase their pay? Slaves didn’t get raises and they got “kicked in the ass” a lot. Leverage gets you raises, not hard work alone.
