“Those people aren’t living on <$1 per day because of capitalism. They are largely there because of socialism, war, corruption and power hungry dictators.”

Yes, I agree. I also think that those like the 85 mentioned in the story have a significant amount of personal guilt (and some probably worry about a massive revolt). Their worries and guilt would be better dealt with, IMHO, by their own personal works and charity than by trying to change the system that has allowed them to become ultra-successful, and to help employ thousands and thousands in the process.

Most of them inherited the wealth, they didn’t acquire it. They think they are better then the remaining 6 billion who don’t have the ultra wealth.

Seems many on this thread would agree with them.
