Where as... you believe money springs forth from an eternal fountain?

I guess a lot of conservative economic ideology does start to make sense when you begin from the incorrect assumption that wealth is in limitless supply - so that subtracting it from some simply limits their quantity - but giving it to others is dumb because they should just get a bucket and scoop up some of that eternal wealth fountain money for themselves!

Once you've scooped up enough, you hire people to do the scooping for you. Basic economics.

You can hold my bucket 8 hours a day, but don't you dare keep it.

Because the act of making money deprives other people of money. There's a finite amount of money. When you recieve money, someone is giving it to you in return for a good, or for a service, or for doing work for them. Either way, money moves from one person to another. Someone loses and another gains.

The only way to gain money without someone losing is if the government prints money for you. And then people still lose money because printing money devalues money.

Possibly the biggest swindle of the jealous, that rich countries are rich because of poor countries. No, it's about value systems and work ethics primarily.

You obviously are clueless about how economics work.
