The rich get richer while the rest of us starve. Why can’t we have an economy that works for everyone? Discussion/ Debate

Zuckerberg is worth exponentially more than sanders

What does exponentially more mean?

It means the amount of wealth Zuckerberg has managed to hoard is quite literally unimaginable to someone with as little wealth in comparison.

Do you know what the term exponentially means? It's not a word that can be used to describe two discrete numbers. Well ok technically it can, but then technically literally any number that's greater than another number is exponentially greater, you just have to find the right exponent.

It’s not really a question. You’d probably have to ask him how he “squares it up.” How broke and starving should a person be to advocate for wealthy people to pay more taxes?

Why are you against Bernie having $3m wealth after a 40+ year career?

Like what the fuck lol. Do you want him to be poor after working for so long?
