    But is it really fair that a person with 50 million can turn that into 100 million

    Yes.

    And since that can only happen by investing that amount into the economy, it’s wisely encouraged by the system, versus putting the 50 million in a vault somewhere.

      The fact that you can’t see how this is a huge flaw in, at the very least, the American form of capitalism is sad.

        You think it’s sad because you’re deeply ignorant. Do you also think that if the $5 baseball card you bought becomes worth $100, that that means you’ve stolen $95? lol

          No, I don’t also think that.

          I do, however, think that I didn’t insult you, so that insult was absolutely not warranted.
