Why "x% of people have y% of the wealth" is irrelevant.

[neverforgetlol]

The more wealth is concentrated the more power the few have over the many. What the hell do you think the state is? The capitalists are no different. I don't care if the poor are able to buy more crap they don't need, the class warfare that is caused by unbalanced wealth is a major problem.

How many of you think proles are really any happier with their lives? When they try to measure how happy people are, northern Europe comes out on top.

The more wealth a capitalist gets, the more power they have. THAT is the problem. And the more power, the more coercive things can be. The entire boss-worker relation is coercive by nature. Having a boss making 2x as much as the average worker certainly is not as bad as 300x.

Actually, it was the workers in the factories provided the cars, (by "mixing their labor" with them).

Ford merely profited by transferring some of the value of their labor to himself.

Because without Henry Ford, they would have figured out how to make their labor worth that much on their own.

And? How does Henry Ford know the value of his cars when he isn't even on the assembly line? He's disconnected from his product.
