And most of that goes to Rat Party Headquarters.
Often, they become aware that they "want to make a difference."
The problem is that making a difference isn't easy because so many things that would appear to make a difference don't. In fact, not only do those things not make a difference, they actually, directly or indirectly, make things worse.
BTW, there is an exception to the above. Sometimes, right after people have made a lot of money, they realize that money isn't enough. They realize that you can have a huge amount of money and still have no discernable power. So they set out to gain a lot of power.
Sometimes the desire to make a difference and the desire to increase one's power collide. This is really dangerous because you become a person who is self-righteous in your effort to gain power. And you yield such power self-righteously. In fact, in your mind, you become a mini-god (or is that "demi-god"?).
Wealth, power, righteousness.
And the REAL question is what’s wrong with the rest of the slackers? Really....how hard can it be to amass wealth when SOOOO many are doing it? Nothing like being made to feel like a lazy bum on this monday morning. Guess I better get of my ass and make some cash. Got some catching up to do.
The 1% are also known as the Parasite Class.
Sounds like they should repeal most of what they passed the last two years.
Right, because corporations like Apple serve no useful purpose, and are forcing consumers to buy their products. Idiocy
Just a coincidence I’m sure but Xiden’s net worth has increased by 10% in each of the past 2 years.
Especially considering you are MORE likely to get Covid in a higher traffic store like Walmart than one of the mom and pops.
Most people don’t real that is all paper wealth. Driven by stock values not by tangible assets. Why do think Bill G buying up land like crazy. it maybe he wants to starve us or he understands that most all his money is dependent on people buying stocks in the hope of profiting, much like gambling.
Not too many high dividend stocks out there. Rich people use other peoples money not their own. Now if you could figure out how to tax stock price manipulation then you’d have a big change.
And just what do these billionaires do with that money? Stash it under the mattress? Or reinvest it to make more? Nothing wrong with owning a personal 737, mega yacht and gigantic mansion. Someone who is not a billionaire has to build those things to feed a family.
Zelensky, Soros, Fink, Zuckerberg, and Bankman-Fried, all come to mind. There are also numerous new billionaires made by those in Big Pharma.
Thems that have gets. Thems that have not gets kids.
Appears OxFam is just another leftwing communist group pushing for government controlled "equality"
And now I believe those billionaires want to depopulate the Earth to “Save the planet” so they can enjoy doing what they want without all those smelly Walmart shoppers hampering them.

Richard Cantillon, who proceeded Adam Smith, was very clear on this, and it was accepted as an iron-law by America’s Founding Fathers.
It took an army of 20th century progressives to propagandize the world out of this basic truth.
Since they were the ones who essentially created this “new wealth”…
Well, there’s proof that the system works.
Not for most of us, of course…
Many of the 1% are currently in Davos. They are planning how to drastically reduce the population of ‘useless eaters’, and how to enslave the rest of us.

You know what to do.
When there is an excessive increase in the quantity of money supply all over the world, there will naturally be an increase in aggregate profits going to the rich.
Ah, more “Scrooge McDuck”
propaganda.
