They are becoming this rich from the money they have taken from the average to poor person. They do it through our government and representatives.

Did I read this wrong, or are you posting here from Reddit??

I resent your comment. I worked very hard, full-time, for over 46 years. I saved every dime I could save. I have some savings now, retired at 65 a couple years ago. I am not “rich” by most standards, but if I passed today, my kids would gain a good amount of money, certainly enough for nice new houses, and to put their kids through college.

I did not take any money from poor people. I am certain I would be classified as “average” or less, financially. I have not reaped any special benefits from governement or representatives.

The government always tries to create conflict and enmity between classes ethnic groups etc.
it’s great for government when the classes fight each other. That gives government the pretext to appropriate power and impose a solution.
it’s a diversion. The real criminals are those that run and collude with the government against the people.

The dynamics at play here are more nuanced than a simple observation. It fundamentally hinges on demographic shifts. With the passing of the “boomer” generation, a concentration of wealth is poised to flow to a select few.

The pivotal question revolves around how the Millennial generation will navigate this influx of wealth. Presently, there is a chorus of discontent regarding boomers retaining assets. However, it’s worth noting that many boomers enjoy robust health, hence their reluctance to downsize or liquidate assets.

The crux of the matter lies in understanding the economic implications of a delayed ascent into affluence for a generation. Will they inherit diminished wealth due to the prolonged lifespan of their predecessors?

Barring unforeseen cataclysms, future generations are poised for overall economic improvement across all strata. This optimism is predicated on the anticipation of enhanced job opportunities, provided individuals strategize their education effectively. Those lacking technical or practical skills may face challenges.

Conspicuously absent from the discourse is the discourse on the “jobs of the future.” Instead, there is undue focus on the purported displacement of millions by AI. However, those adept at envisaging a post-AI landscape stand to thrive, securing a portion of the anticipated $90 trillion wealth, thus ensuring economic resilience.

I did no such thing. I enlisted in the USAF after a year of college and worked my ass off serving this country for 20 years. I parlayed my experience and work ethic into a high paying job after my retirement from said USAF.

That job has enabled me to invest and save a crap ton of $$ to make up for what I didn’t have in my early years. You sir, can go EFF yourself thinking that I somehow “stole” from the “average to poor person” to somehow “enrich: myself. I’ve earned every stinking penny. They and many like them had the same opportunities and chose quite poorly. Eff them.

My kid and his family will be well taken care of and I have no shame nor regret in posting such.
