However, despite all the glorious benefits of pure capitalism we need to grow up and create a better society. If you don't like government become an anarchist and see what you can do for your ideal.
Well this thread is about global wealth (and poverty).
The US poor are rich compared to other countries.
Africa has the biggest concentration of poor.
And that has been the case since forever with multiple generations growing up hearing about the starving in Africa.

Society will better itself through free markets. We don't need to seize the wealth of others to 'better society'. Wealth seizure is mostly non-productive.
I am in the top 1%. It does not take much to be there and I am well aware of the enormous tax burden we have to pay.
I do not blame billionaires, the more the better, I would love to see a 1,000 more Bill gates in america since that would improve the economy.
My beef with the struggling middle class republicans that defend the top brackets. One would think these folks should be voting democrat since they benefit a lot from social programs.
meanwhile the fascist liberals continue to say tax the rich, then want to bundle the workingclass households making 200k with millionaires and billionaires
the liberals constantly are killing the middleclass
its just like years ago they started the AMT..to tax the rich....now it is hitting a lot of middleclass earners....
What these wealth stats never include is the present value of government entitlement programs which are the greatest asset for a large percentage of individuals in the developed world.
No part of growing up includes the idea of the government taking care of you.
If you want to be like a lion or a Zebra in the wild be my guest, but you will live a life of stress in the name of your so-called freedom which is not really freedom. You do not know what real freedom is!
