That's right, because the rest of us would have it. As far as I am concerned, billionaires are highly over-rated. They contribute squat to the country. They are like poker players who come to the table with more dough than the other guys and then, in a table stakes-no limit game, walk away with everybody's money. They make the game less fun for the rest of us. parsy.

Fun? The game is fun if truly now how to play it. The majority of billionaires who are around for more than a year or so have truly earned their money. Those who haven't, let the money ruin them. What claim do we have to their money either way?

"Only the man who does not need it, is fit to inherit wealth- the man who would make his own fortune no matter where he started. If an heir is equal to his money, it serves him; if not, it destroys him. But you look on and you cry that money corrupted him. Did it? Or did he corrupt his money? Do not envy a worthless heir; his wealth is not yours and you would have done no better with it. Do not think that it should have been distributed among you; loading the world with fifty parasites instead of one, would not bring back the dead virtue which was the fortune. Money is a living power that dies without its root. Money will not serve that mind that cannot match it." Francisco's
