Well, if the system is socialism, then they have cheated the system. If the system is capitalism, then they're reaping the rewards.

I think what he meant to say is that wealth will eventually gather in rather large pools -- become more concentrated within fewer and fewer hands. This is debatable. I, personally, don't believe it. But it is something of a valid point.

On the other hand, I kinda like Willy Green. I don't often agree with him, but he gives me something to chew on.

There has never been a "middle ground" for those cursed with 'Willy Logic'.. Socialists really do believe that anyone who owns 'riches' has cheated the system.

It's a valid point to those who believe that capitalism must be controlled by socialistic methods.. I prefer constitutional methods.

Agreed. He serves his purpose as a sock puppet.
