We live in a dysgenic society. $223 trillion of our world’s wealth is not in your wallet, is it? What’s up with the wealth gap anyhow?
Our monetary system is run for bankers, by bankers. Our health-care system is run by pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies for their own gain. Billionaires at the top of biotech and agricultural corporations, given ‘personhood’, dictate our food supply, and our energy supply is held hostage by equal maniacal greed. The ‘military’ – well that system isn’t in place to protect you and I, the average citizen, it is in place to protect the banks, the pharmaceutical companies and the corporations. The politicians – they aren’t in their positions to be ‘the voice of the people’ – they are there to act with herd-like mentality, propping up the centralist agenda, and to go home to bed thinking they are safe from the trajectory of their ill-imagined actions.This society allows for a huge displacement of wealth, and the stealing of resources from every conceivable area to form a massive load of debt – one so huge it enslaves us for decades, if not centuries to come to the elite class. If you think that billionaire robber barons had all the cash, just wait. Think one million times one million to equal true wealth disparity.
Even John D. Rockefeller, the richest American ever, saw his wealth peak in 1913 at around $900 million, or 2.5% of the country's GDP that year. The disparity between the have’s and have-nots is becoming lost in our mental capacity to digest such staggering numbers. Are you even sure how many millions are in a trillion? Most Americans don’t know. Whether it is money they have or don’t have—it’s a confounding numerical value.
Our current debt (deficit) is equal to 12 trillion – and growing. $1 trillion of that was spent on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. To put this in perspective, if you started a business with a trillion dollars and lost $1 million a day, every day for 365 days, it would still take another 1,000 years to lose all of your trillion-dollar investment.
“A new word is achieving ubiquity. The word has always been with us and at times has been a beacon to attract the friends of liberty and opportunity. But now I’m afraid it is beginning to be used as a justification for social and economic policies that will limit the expansion of both liberty and opportunity. The word? Inequality. More specifically, the word has become problematic when used in close proximity to the word income. There are those who believe that income inequality is the proximate cause of the Great Recession, if not the imminent demise of Western Civilization, pushing us into a dystopian world that will come to resemble the one depicted in the movie Blade Runner.” —John Mauldin
This society – our society, according to a recent Credit Suisse annual Global Wealth Report will create 11 trillionaires in the next decade. The report also states that global wealth has more than doubled in the past ten years – so where did all the money go? The 1% really hold all the wealth, but it isn’t just affecting the US. The planet as a whole is suffering from this inequality.

He wouldn't even spend it like peasants would (on 'bling' and pointless ****). He's probably so entrenched in his work to the point where money is just a marker of his success over his competition.

There's a certain type of conservative who only seems to care about preserving rich people's money, when they themselves aren't even rich. Those are the ones making us look bad

If a trillionaire comes into existence it will be no different. Them, or a relative, or whatever will have created something massive in scale. And it's their right to reap the rewards of that. It's that simple.

The issue is not, by the way, that he has 90 billion. Or 900 billion, or several trillion.
The issue is how people at that level of wealth influence the political process. It's why his workers in warehouses need to have their wages subsidised by the government. He doesn't pay a liveable wage. This is true for all these big corporations with lots of low payed employees, which is a substantial sector of even the most developed economies, and always will be.
Basically, all that wealth comes from the taxes of everyone else below him in the pyramid. Our governments aren't very good at collecting that money hence you have a 20 trillion national debt.
In for the negs.
