Why do Conservatives Worship Billionaires?

[nanook12]

Sometimes it seems like conservatives are billionaire cucks. Conservatives liking to watch billionaires get to do things they don't get to do themselves. I really do not understand it, especially since they are the party that claims to be "alphas."

Because they think to themselves, "All I have to do is work hard and one day I can be one of them too."

It's a basic understand of what a economy needs to prosper and how a society needs to value its most productive over the least. It's flawed but its a more logical position to hold compared to their opponents so they don't really go past the basic explanation.

I was more conservative back in high school, and I still don't remember my own reasoning behind half that shit.

So they continue to work hard with the belief that they will be rich one day, but in actuality the only person getting richer off their hard work is either their boss, company owner, CEO, and shareholders. Poor simpletons.

I don't think that is an entirely conservative thing anymore, liberals (at least the neo kind) seem to have been hooked on the teets of billionaires as well, as long as they tell them all the things that they like to hear (women and minorities so oppressed, sad!). It is only really socialists at this point that I think have major issues with billionaires.

As to why, I mean it is an example of the greatness that can be brought on with our system, and besides those who inherited it all and had an entire family team to ensure that it didn't all just burn away, it should be noted that such people are rather skillful (sometimes those skills are unfortunately exploitative and destructive, but that is another topic).

So your solution is to not work hard and sit on your ass asking for gibs?

A wise man once said, "Cash rules everything around me. C.R.E.A.M. get the money. Dolla dolla bill y'all."

Why do Democrats worship the failed ideals of Communism? Democrats liking to watch individual rights stripped away for the "good of the state" I really dont understand this because Democrats say they are the party of freedom.

I can make retarded generalizations too....

Its a little worse than that. They think people who aren't rich have some kind of moral failing. The harder you work, the more money you have, the more moral you are.

My solution is that maybe workers should own at least a portion of the things they produce. Not total socialism, but something like half socialism. I do not respect authority that treats and pays me like dirt while they run off with all the profit living luxuriously off the back of what I produced with my hard work.

Could go less of an extreme than socialistic seizing of production, and just unionize and have collective bargain to gain more of the profits of the produce.

I personally don't worship, i just don't hate them.

That works too. As long as corporations cannot ship jobs over seas or import cheap immigrant labor through programs like the H1-B. Those things destroy union bargaining power.

If you would get rich (or at least wealthy) by just working hard, everything would be fine, you know. Then everyone would be rich... wait, I've head that somewhere. No, this must not be! That's communism!

Do you have multiple jobs? Just for science...

Would certainly be nice if we would stop shipping off jobs, that would likely help quite a bit.

Because every conservative see themself as a future billionaire themselves, thus they won't do anything that might hurt their future fortune. It's delusion on a grand scale.

It;s not that they bend the knee for rich people but more like they are being sold propaganda and as a result they bend the knee.

What it comes down to is that they aren't that smart

My hate for them burns hotter than the tip of the devils trident. I have zero empathy for the wealthy and corporations. I don't view hate as something bad like the normal person does. I view hate and anger as emotions that have evolved to correct injustices done to an individual, group, or society. They are a force whoms evolutionary purpose is to correct injustices.

Considering the opening post, this really isn't much more than political/Conservative-bashing. Closing.
