Just a reminder, wealthy people arent responsible for you or anyone not having money simply because they do.

Money isnt like pie, just because some people have more doesn't mean you have less.

Money/wealth isnt a zero-sum game

@freemo Just a reminder, rich people earn their money by owning companies and stocks and shit and not doing anything, while said stocks and companies make money by paying their employees less than what's produced.

Many of said rich persons have no qualifications other than they inherited the money.

Many of them have corrupted government by lobbying. Some run hateful "news" channels, pushed for war for the benefit of their arms industry and succeeded at that.

@jasper Ok...

Well for starters spending **your** money (which had to be earned in the first place) isnt "not doing anything".

Second, yes some inherited money, which means their parents in most cases earned it.

Third, a *huge portion of the 500 richest people in america were not born rich, in fact, more than half.

Finally, yes many have corrupted people and behaved illegally and immorally. Probably about the same percentage, maybe even less, than poor or middle classed people. So sounds more like an argument against corruption than an argument against rich people.
