How many breakthroughs in technology have improved the lives of "the people" in the last 30 years or so? How many of those were developed on farms and in stores? None? Wait! Almost all of them were developed by those "evil" big corporations, which were enabled via those very capital gains investments.
And those technological breakthroughs will allow them to accumulate more wealth. Sonds like a viscious cycle to me.
And the problem with that is?...
Are you seriously arguing that the you'd rather we not have any of those things since the "cost" to you is that those who make them will have more money then you? How incredibly self centered of you!
Let me put this in a simple scenario. A pharmaceutical company is working on a cure for the common cold. If they succeed, it'll improve the lives of ever single human on the planet. Of course, they'll also make a boatload of money as well. Are you saying you'd rather they *didn't* develop that cure?
