    In a fully functioning government, most people should be “profitting from” or “exploiting” the system while the top 10% pay the majority of that. The top producers, by definition, should be simultaneously the most rewarded and the most exploited in society while the bottom 50% are almost entirely “freeloading”

    Its simply unsustainable any other way. A high performer born to a bottom 50% family will never make it to top 10% if the system does not function in this way, so we lose out on those “gifted” individuals to starvation or other archaic diseases
