How do you feel about the Forbes top 100 Billionaires list in regards to poverty?

[Truth200]

It's funny how they tell poor people and the bottom of the middle class how there is a recession.

When in reality rich people are just hoarding that money.

we used to ask those questions as kids to fuk with people.

Do your parents know you're gay?
Yes?
No?

Choose.

And who exactly is making the argument that this guy's money needs to be confiscated and divided evenly amongst the entire population?

it is not a straw man description of your/his position, but a thought-experiment...
Why so defensive?

I answered your question now answer mine.

What good comes from a man having 86 billion dollars in a country with poverty like Mexico?

There is a lot that goes into a question like that... but rather than get into how economics is a zero sum game().



What do you think should be done with his wealth?

Not defensive. Your thought experiment is irrelevant

Just to be clear there is nothing wrong with athletes or entertainers and entrepreneurs being rich.

Rich meaning typical multi-million dollar home with matching Ferrari's & Bentley like MTV cribs.

Wealth being another level considering all the people have over 10 billion dollars on the top 100 on the Forbes list.

Think about that...

It's up to the working class to change the system from what it is. Can't knock these guys under this system.

Just checked the vote count and it looks like we have a billionaire posting here on the coli...

Just look at how someone on the list like Michael Bloomberg who has 35 billion could buy the position of Mayor of NYC.

He changed the laws which jump started gentrification and led to more black people being put in the prison industrial complex.

Only a piece of shyt would have $1 billion . How can you not spend money on infrastructure for the poor with that kinda money. Smh truly sick people rack up money like that. I'd keep a few mil for my self and all the rest going to truly helping the poor.

Since the recession, high-end stores are thriving while cheaper ones struggle

The thing is these people on the forbes list have far more than 1 billion.

Everyone in the top 20 has over 30 billion.

Everyone from 20-35 has over 20 billion.

Everyone in the top 120 has over 10 billion.

And we wonder why people are living in the ghetto and starving to death.

Go on...
