Yeah, but the rich aren't human. That's why it's ok for the government to steal their money

This should be the baseline. We have the means for everyone to be fed and if we develop poorer areas and move towards sustainable technologies, everyone on earth can be rich. The problem is that humanity fails to work towards these collective goals, and any system that forces us to do so seems to fail. Democratic socialism does a decent job though, it might be a reasonable compromise.

But I agree that we need to think bigger. There is the potential for everyone to have a great life and we're just not making that happen right now.

This is such an assbackwards argument. The rich wouldn't be rich without the government to begin with.

the poor aren't human, is the indication you'd get from the way our present society treats them

The rich buys government lobbyists - so the rich and the government is the same thing.

The rich, the government, the big pharma, freemasons, video cards scalpers, the Bogdanoff brothers, they are all the same thing. They're all in it.
They're watching you right now from stealthy drones flying above your place.

Don't you think that they have better things to do rather than watch us? I mean, If they are rich and powerful as you say... :|

Youre right, it's a simbiotic relationship. The point is the government doesn't "steal" anyone's money, or at least not in this regard.

We should be able to recreate bio organs by 2035. Also new studies show that humans might be capable of organ/body regeneration but somehow that is inhibited. If a breakthrough is achieved in future you might be able to reproduce/regenerate your hand if you lose it.
