I don’t have any economics experience so maybe I’m just being dumb here, but the part of their response that got me was the implication that it’s easy for someone like Bezos to simply “transfer assets” and what that even means exactly.

I own a multi-billion dollar company. Every penny I make that isn’t used to sustain my admittedly somewhat exorbitant lifestyle I put back into my company. Without damaging the company, something widely used by many and what not only sustains my life but also garners interest allowed me to make these “asset transfers”, what assets do I transfer? 99% of my money is in the company.

They also specifically said you don’t have to cash assets out to offer value…but then what value do those assets offer? Keep in mind, these assets are not being cashed out at all, which means when I give some lower class family my million dollar watch, it’s not being sold for a million dollars, it’s stuck being a fancy watch. Why? Because who is going to buy the million dollar watch if anyone with money is “transferring assets”? It’s like crypto currency or gold. Sure, we can tell you it’s worth millions, but only if someone actually gives you millions in return for it.

Like that just doesn’t make sense to me. It sounds like a system that intends to make everyone equally rich and yet no one actually gets to keep any of the money. This probably went too close to “money is fake, the system is a lie” territory than I intended, but w/e I feel the point is made.
