will restricting the upper limit of wealth potential reduce us to the fate of the USSR?

Question

the founding fthrs thought preventg welth concentrtn was the cornerstone of democracy, liberty & justice for all, the americn dream?

the foundg fthrs thought that welth concentrtn was tyranny & injustice, bc they thought that wealth [overpay] is power [tyranny]; & poverty [underpay] is powerlessness [slavery]?

their view seems like good old common sense, dsnt it?

indvdual work is limited, therefore limited indvdual wealth is just - unlimited aggravatn of overpay & underpay is increasingly unjust, destroying peace, harmony, order, the state, democracy [fairshares of politcl power], capitlsm, sanity, sense

the USSR never restricted the upper limit of wealth/power potntl - they raced to the most extrme inequity of wealth/power - [shouting 'the people the people!' all the time, to confuse the ppl - as did the german nationalist workers party [nazi] & the american military-industrial-oil bandits & robber barons

it's the goldn calf syndrme: throw welth in pile, we're rich!

Answer 1

The Bahá’ís must not engage in political movements which lead to sedition. They must interest themselves in movements which conduce to law and order. In Persia at the present time the Bahá’ís have no part in the revolutionary upheavals which have terminated in lawlessness and rebellion. Nevertheless, a Bahá’í may hold a political office and be interested in politics of the right type. Ministers, state officials and governor-generals in Persia are Bahá’ís, and there are many other Bahá’ís holding governmental positions; but nowhere throughout the world should the followers of Bahá’u’lláh be engaged in seditious movements. For example, if there should be an uprising here in America having for its purpose the establishment of a despotic government, the Bahá’ís should not be connected with it.
The Bahá’í Cause covers all economic and social questions under the heading and ruling of its laws. The essence of the Bahá’í spirit is that, in order to establish a better social order and economic condition, there must be allegiance to the laws and principles of government. Under the laws which are to govern the world, the socialists may justly demand human rights but without resort to force and violence. The governments will enact these laws, establishing just legislation and economics in order that all humanity may enjoy a full measure of welfare and privilege; but this will always be according to legal protection and procedure. Without legislative administration, rights and demands fail, and the welfare of the commonwealth cannot be realized. Today the method of demand is the strike and resort to force, which is manifestly wrong and destructive of human foundations. Rightful privilege and demand must be set forth in laws and regulations.
While thousands are considering these questions, we have more essential purposes. The fundamentals of the whole economic condition are divine in nature and are associated with the world of the heart and spirit. This is fully explained in the Bahá’í teaching, and without knowledge of its principles no improvement in the economic state can be realized. The Bahá’ís will bring about this improvement 239 and betterment but not through sedition and appeal to physical force—not through warfare, but welfare. Hearts must be so cemented together, love must become so dominant that the rich shall most willingly extend assistance to the poor and take steps to establish these economic adjustments permanently. If it is accomplished in this way, it will be most praiseworthy because then it will be for the sake of God and in the pathway of His service. For example, it will be as if the rich inhabitants of a city should say, “It is neither just nor lawful that we should possess great wealth while there is abject poverty in this community,” and then willingly give their wealth to the poor, retaining only as much as will enable them to live comfortably.
Strive, therefore, to create love in the hearts in order that they may become glowing and radiant. When that love is shining, it will permeate other hearts even as this electric light illumines its surroundings. When the love of God is established, everything else will be realized. This is the true foundation of all economics. Reflect upon it. Endeavor to become the cause of the attraction of souls rather than to enforce minds. Manifest true economics to the people. Show what love is, what kindness is, what true severance is and generosity. This is the important thing for you to do. Act in accordance with the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh. All His Books will be translated. Now is the time for you to live in accordance with His words. Let your deeds be the real translation of their meaning. Economic questions will not attract hearts. The love of God alone will attract them. Economic questions are most interesting; but the power which moves, controls and attracts the hearts of men is the love of God.

You really should read "The Russians," published in 1972 first. It was written by a correspondent to Moscow. Wonderful book, I am sorry I forget the author. You really really need to read this book. I have never met someone who is overpaid or underpaid. People are free to accept or reject any employment. Slavery is illegal now, unlike during the founding period where there were real slaves. The founders lived in the pre-capitalist period and wealth was measured in land which lead to the feudal system. It is improper to extrapolate their views onto our reality.

Just a note, common sense is often wrong and you should use good science not the "common sense" of anyone.
