| Suppose that the average American earns 2 million dollars over a lifetime of work. This means that the 10 richest individuals have the lifetime earnings of 252750 people. |

The accumulated wealth of the top 10 wealthiest people could only support the U.S. government spending for 5 days. Reality check.
Anything worth doing, is worth overdoing. Moderation is for cowards. |

| It just means that the US government is inefficient in how they spend taxpayer dollars. |

so?
how many of those americans would be americans if we didn't have capitalism?
not a lot.
what's the point of getting rich if the government makes you give it all away?

Yes but your talking like a communist. It doesn't matter if it could support them or not, they didn't earn it like the top 10 did.

| When you are talking about Tylenol however, moderation is the difference between liver failure and pain relief. |

Yeah, let's say a guy named "Bob" doesn't work b/c he has no skills.
By your logic, he doesn't have to work b/c other rich people are giving him the money they earn.

without capitalism, we wouldn't have a lot of the stuff we have today
people are motivated by money.
which is why capitalism works.
if we were all communism, ideas would die.

To tell you the truth I cannot think of anything more important than moderation.
If you consume excess food you can become obese and threaten your health. Instances of Diabetes, Heart Disease, and Cancer increase with obesity.
