Antisemitism

What's going to happen when 1 person controls 99.9% of the world's wealth?

(More importantly, will it be me?)

Honestly, why don't people actually try becoming billionaires, instead of moaning about how bad they are?

I think there's a large measure of luck in becoming a billionaire. If it were just a matter of hard work, there'd be a lot more of them.

And, anyway, it's plainly not the case that everyone can become one. The present system naturally concentrates wealth in fewer and fewer hands.

^ Good idea. We should all try becoming billionaires.

But that's just silly when you think about it.

The purpose of having money is to get people to do things for you. If everyone was a billionaire then the value of being a billionaire would be deflated and no one would be any better off than they are now.

It doesn't matter how much money you have at all - as long as you've more than anyone else. And, at the risk of stating the obvious, not everyone can have more money than everyone else.

Becoming a billionaire doesn't seem to be a matter of hard work and luck alone. Most self-made billionaires seem to have the intelligence of academics but use that intelligence on themselves. It requires a certain way of thinking which a lot of people who are hard working and lucky do not have.

It is ever since they reduced the taxes on the rich and promised it would trickle down. It never did, so we end up with the world we have now.

^ Awesome

Antisemites will argue that 99% of the 1% is Jewish.
