Let's imagine a village a few thousand years ago, at harvest time. There's one guy who's physically much bigger than the others, didn't do any work for the crop, and stands there with a sword to steal 80% of everything everyone else has harvested.
Then a day later he holds a gathering where he gives back 10% of what he stole and people cheer him for being charitable, because in the other villages the people who steal the grain don't give any back at all.
Crazy.
There's practically no other issues on Earth than ones caused by greedy rich people. We have the resources and technology to end world hunger and do other such things, but they aren't being done because there's no immediate profit to be extracted from it. Even though on a global, socioeconomic level, it would have massive effects, which would actually translate to better markets and profits even for capitalists, but they just need to get immediate profit, the blind ignorant fucks.
