thank-you in advance for not simply answering with 'yes' or 'no'. i am seeking the REASON behind your response...the WHY behind your answer. (i am assuming we all agree that sane people should have consciously examined reasons to believe what they believe)

obviously if you have everyone working and everyone getting paid in proportion to work, then you have a much happier healthier safer friendlier community than if you have everyone working and people getting paid very unproportional to work
it is obvious to everyone that if a govt took 99% of income permanently off 99% of people and gave it to the 1%, you would instantly destroy virtually all happiness [peace, safety, community, friendliness, all the good things] - not only the deprivation, disease and uneducation for the 99% but also the extreme conflict [with deaths and damage] and also the extreme danger to the 1% and also the extreme overpower of the 1% over the 99%, which causes torture, sadism, sexual exploitation, etc
so everyone already agrees that such a state of things would be extremely bad, like maybe 1000 times worse - everyone would be big big big losers from such a state of things - plus the fact that the violence between the 1% and the 99% would be endlessly escalative, violence would just grow and grow and grow and grow, as each side revenged every attack [as in israel] - plus the fact that the lives and wealth of the 1% would be devoured by the extreme security needs - just as if a person stole everyone's wallets at a ball, they would have to hide out, run away, lose the community, be thrust into fearfilled isolation
so everyone agrees everyone would be bigbigbig losers from a govt taking 99% off 99% and giving it to 1%
we humans have pay from $1 to $1 billion a fortnight's work - from 1000th to a million times the average hourly pay - we have 1% having 90% of world income - US$70 trillion [US$70,000 per family] - we have 90% of workers on 10th-1000th of the average hourly pay - and another 9% on 1th-10th of average hourly pay - and 1% on up to a million times average hourly pay
and 99% are not prevailing against 1% - 1% can keep 99% in subjection, in wage-slavery and full slavery and starvation slavery
losers
all other animals avoid overpay and underpay, and the consequent destruction of 99.9% of their birthright happiness
they are winners
they get 100% in the art of life - they destroy none of their birthright happiness
humans get 0.1% in the art of life - they destroy 99.9% of their birthright happiness

I would say that as humans we have not made the best of what we have. Unfortunately greed has been a major driving force in human development and this has led to a materalistic and all consuming society.
Because of materialism a small number of people hold the majority of the worlds wealth and their main concerns are holding onto that wealth or growing it further in an attempt to outdo the competition.
I once heard the CEO of a major US corporation say that his company was at war with it's competitors and it was necessary for all staff to be aware that they were at war and to act accordingly. Personally I found this shocking and dangerous but it just shows the mentality of many of those chosen as leaders.
If we had adopted a more mature attitude and embraced the concept of helping each other as a race and worked together towards creating a happy and sustainable existance for ourselves and our future generations I think we could have achieved amazing things and the world be be a happier, safer place.
Greed is the weakness of humanity and we are not yet mature enough to manage this weekness.

Are people kidding me, I dont judge my self by money or Job, I do have both, but by how I feel
I think that we are the biggest winners in the universe, Love, Medicine, heath, happiness, chirldren, sex, Friends, strong bonds between people, people willing to help each other even at the risk of there own selfs
Understanding humor, God for somepeople ( happy God people), 9-11 happens and as a NY'er never seen people go so far to help there fellow man.
Life is great people, if that list sounds like losers too you you should read it again and live for some of it

artwork is yet another word for slavery. in case you do no longer artwork, then do no longer devour. it is an archaic theory that would desire to be out of date by extra, we've the components, technologies and intelligence to stay in a worldwide the place remote places money does not exist, all issues are loose, human beings can bypass to college loose to stay their interest contributing their present freely to the worldwide, yet human beings are additionally too grasping, obdurate, closed minded and prefer the present slave equipment. artwork for money, that's what they are asserting. i think of there would desire to be no remote places money, artwork your interest, don't have a keenness? stay existence doing even though makes you satisfied. can no longer try this with this slave equipment, each and every thing demands money, it is all ineffective paper without genuine value, the real value is in humanity, yet no person sees it.

i have given this a lot of thought and i have come to the conclusion that humans are the world's biggest losers except for ''skeeters". i indeed have examined my reasons. if it wasn't for humans. there would be a lot more skeeters than there are because we keep swatting them.and their demise is at least partly our fault. i say lets find some other way to relieve ourselves other than killing the little critters. thank you for the question. have a happy day.

No, for the simple fact that I am able to not only read the question, but type the answer. No other species in the world can do that.
And where is your opinion on the question? You want to read others thoughts, but don't put your own down.

Humans that are losers are the dictators and the warmongers.
Then there are the Armed forces that lose because they follow orders of the above.
Following on are the innocents and children that lose.
They lose because they are caught in the crossfire of War
