Example (outside of health care to keep it in context); There is a reason why General Electric doesn't pay taxes yet makes BILLIONS.. I will let you try and figure it out



I struggled internally with this concept for a long time. The imbalance of power and wealth in the U.S. seems really unfair and shitty at a casual glance. But then in my mid 20's I read the book Atlas Shrugged and my views changed a little bit. Without the brilliant albeit economically ruthless minds that built this country, I wouldn't be living a life that the 80% of the global population is envious of. Everyone's perception is their own reality, so we make big deals out of dumb shit in this country when a vast majority of the world population struggles to get enough to eat every day. In summary, I'm thankful to the ruthless assholes that made all this possible for me and mine.
