"Venezuela has breadlines, socialism is a failure"

[Kaafiye]

This is the most simplistic line of thinking I've ever heard.

Bill Gates didn't earn his money because "roads"

This is the best the Left can come up with

Sure, and Gates benefited off his parents, his buddies, the books he's read, and his other experiences.

Do you think if Gates was massively influenced by a book he read at the age of 15.... that he should cut a massive cheque to the author of that book ?

Do you think Bill Gates would have become Bill Gates if he was born in Somalia, grew up there and read a book?

I'm trying to explain to you in simple terms, how Bill Gates benefited from society and he did not earn it because he is naturally more gifted than people.

Of course he earned it.

And what about the kids who directly benefited off Bill Gates Windows products? Do they now owe him a cheque on top of the price they paid for the product?

Again, what you're saying is full of shit. No human is an island, but that doesn't mean that someone doesn't earn his wealth.

By that logic this man isn't a billionaire cause he had a great mother. There's plenty of kids who grew up in Seattle and went to school with Gates and ended up homeless. So your whole argument is bullshit

What does people benefiting from his products having to do with whether or not he earned being a billionaire?

I am not saying Bill Gates has not contributed to society, I am not saying Bill Gates didn't earn some of his wealth however I am saying he did not earn it by himself because of his intrinsic nature but because he benefited from circumstances in life that the rest of society contributed to.

Bill Gates was made in America, imagine if he was born and lived in Venezuela

Okay so no one has earned anything then.

No one alive today invented calculus, but we all benefited off its invention

This is such a ridiculous and irrelevant argument. Everyone stands on the shoulders of generations past, but Bill Gates did more to contribute than anyone else in his age class.

 

[Kaafiye]

America's Government is rich because the American people are rich

Not the other way around. It's the people who support the Government.

Are you justifying his absurd unearned wealth because he donates to charity?

Are you that naive..America is land of few extremely rich..small middle class and whole alot of people stuck in the bottom..capitalism is evil...
The Islamic model is the best..and offers more flexibility for social mobility.

Never said that. Charity is besides the point. I didn't even mention charity

Maybe your reading comprehension sucks. But Bill Gates existence benefited his workers, his customers, other businesses, and hundreds of millions of other people.

Bill Gates the businessman did more good for his fellow man than him as a charitable philanthropist.

Getting rich is a moral duty. You get rich by serving your customers, by making your customers happy and better off.

Getting rich is a moral duty? How do you figure that out?

Because the accumulation of wealth requires thousands or even millions of customers liking you enough to trade with you. In that sense you are providing a benefit to others. You are making your fellow man better off. He gives you cash, you give him a software product. Both sides benefit from the exchange

Bro i think alot of people live in a bubble.. monopolies are harmful for consumers and deadly for the economy. In many ways Bill Gates buisness practices took money out of everyones pocket and put it in his...typical American capitalism..eventhough he is shady but he is smart..research how many companies sued him for stealing and forcing them to pay royalties,border line extortion..and selfish Bill Gates will buy you or destroy you

Don't bother wasting your time on this dude @Kaafiye

He genuinely seems mentally deficient. Imagine wasting this much time defending Bill Gates, a billionaire. I didn't realize the average person on here was this delusional and brainwashed. Or maybe, this forum just attracts imbeciles? Most likely the latter.

The sheer level of confidence in his absolute ignorance is staggering, though. No wonder Somalia is a shithole.

Bill gates had access to a computer back when it was a technology only the military had access to. It costed millions of dollars, and his parents were wealthy enough to get it for him. He became rich when he bought a proprietary software and patented it as his own. He's not a fucking genius who became rich, he's a capitalist that was born rich and had the money to buy someone else's invention, copyright it and sell it himself to make billions. That's not genius, that's capitalist theft.

You guys are so ignorant, yet talk with such confidence. Wow.

 

[Prince Abubu]

Even basic common sense should tell you that no billionaire has earned their wealth. In order to earn that kind of money, you would literally have to have been alive for thousands of years.


My god, I didn't realise there were so many boot-licker losers in our community. No wonder the favourite topic on this forum is crying about some Somali woman/girl dating Madow. This is a incel/4-chan shithole.

 

[Prince Abubu]

This is literally prosperity gospel bullshit from right-wing republican propagandists like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. This fucker is literally busing American Christian propaganda as an argument. Then pretending it's actually Islamic to praise and defend Bill Gates.

Kids, stay in school and read books.
