Yep, exactly. Started out poor. Started out middle class. Started out poor. Started out poor. Started out poor. The others I haven't heard about or re...
Read the above. Also you misinterpret my position. I am against big business, which means multinational corporations, which seek to control the govern...
You haven't addressed the question... I know that's what you claim, but for example, most billionaires are self-made. Many of them come from among the...
Also, there is some strange idea going around in most people's minds that you need lots of capital to start a business, or that you need investors, et...
No, I'm not down with that idea except in the case of people who are really really poor. I asked you before, how does someone having more money than m...
Before you were upset that I was going off-topic with explaining to you what wealth actually is. But it seems you still don't distinguish between weal...
The harder it is, the greater the accomplishment of succeeding! And actually, I don't think inequality has anything to do with someone being able to d...
Yes, they also had access to basic education, even if not higher education, and also any additional education they need through the internet, librarie...
:-d It's quite tiring talking when you don't bother to read and take in what I've said. (not in the West - refering to really poor people, who don't h...
Well yeah in the West this should really be no problem. The poorest in the West are nothing like the poorest in other parts of the world, who don't ev...
Well, it seems to me that managers can never be convinced - it's like trying to convince parents. They both view you as the one who should be managed ...
Officially yes. But what about them rare earth metals underneath the ground? And why does the US still have troops there? I fixed it for you. Yeah, ma...
Why do you think it was such a big thing? There were lots of rumors going around that US already effectively knew where he was, they were just waiting...
Of course you didn't, cause you were wrong :D You were too busy running with the tail between your legs lol I made no bets regarding Australia and gay...
Wealth isn't simply money. Wealth = Value x Quantity of Goods or Services Sold. I can have no money for example, but if I control a valuable service o...
Quantify how much this is worth in terms of money to Tiff. Include things like food saved, nerves improved, etc. Call that value X. Now I will charge ...
No - those are repeated transactions using mostly the same pool of money. Money flows around just to facilitate production of goods and services for t...
I think power is only to a certain degree financial. Mostly power comes in the form of controlling important decision makers through different means, ...
Financial markets don't "generate wealth". Comparing the world's GDP with the volume of transactions on financial markets is meaningless. If I, using ...
I think there comes a point though when more money doesn't make a difference in terms of personal power. If you have $100 million, you're pretty much ...
Right, but that's how money is accumulated in the first place, by solving problems for society or providing needed products or services. You wouldn't ...
For now, I will tackle only this part. Monetary value in and of itself is irrelevant. Production and problem-solving are relevant. The stock exchange ...
Analytically challenged who can probably solve a practical problem 4 times as fast and better than you can :-} Of course, it's easy to show off and in...
Yes, that's the only thing I would agree on. The government shouldn't serve the interests of entrenched corporations through corruption or laws the pr...
Trust me, analytically challenged or blind is definitely not what I am. That should be measured by practical results you get not the postmodernist boo...
Yes, but most people can succeed if they know what to do. Now knowing what to do isn't easy. Most people have completely wrong notions about business,...
I'm just laughing at Baden and SLX :D - they want to start a fitness revolution, because only 1% of people have great fitness levels, and they are opp...
Why is it disgusting? :s Again, if they create that wealth, who should own it? The people who keep a finger up their nose expecting money to fall from...
It doesn't disproportionately benefit the wealthy, if by that you just mean that the wealthy own more of the newly created wealth than the others. Thi...
Okay, so let's analyse what would happen if 1% owned as much as 99%. The 99% would live no worse than they ever lived in the past. They actually have ...
