It's safe to say that we disagree.
Sorry bro, but that's nonsense. Having an idea does not create wealth. And in the case of Gates, he didn't even have the idea.
Having an idea does not. Implementing that idea and putting it on the market does.
And in the case of Gates, he didn't even have the idea.
He had the execution. Fun fact - Gates, Allen and Ballmer worked in the same motel used by prostitutes while debugging Basic that they were trying to sell to Atari. Thin walls and all that.
Now capitalism has forced the mothers, fathers and their education-craving children to do dad's job; there's that destruction of true wealth again.
Is there a better system out there? Slavery did it, feudalism did it, communism did it, capitalism does it.
We, as a species, started dirt poor wandering around searching for food. When you look at the historical development, of all the systems we tried - capitalism performed the best.
Your position that everything would be fine if only those dirty billionaires didn't steal all that money for themselves is indefensible. Judging capitalism by some idealistic system that doesn't exist is just not fair.
Try this for a change: Capitalism is bad when compared to X, where X is a system that actually exists (existed) in the real World.
