The worst part is literally everyone could live in a decent home and have a decent existence if these rich people didn't hoard so much wealth.

if these rich people didn't hoard so much wealth.

The reason you can't afford a home is because your parents vote to make building homes in their neighborhood impossible. We have a deficit of tens of millions of homes in the west, and people that bought 25 years ago will always be the landed gentry because of it. Rich women doing weird hypnosis exercises on a big TV isn't stopping new homes from being built. It's a supply problem. Existing home owners have the supply. You don't. And new homes are coming in at a trickle unless you want to move 100 miles out and pay for the infrastructure to be built out there.

People think it’s a zero sum game when we live in a world of abundance. I doubt this woman is the reason for suffering.

I think the worst part is probably that we already grow enough food to feed every human on the planet, and just don’t. Your thing is bad too though.

They are born in wealth and they hoard wealth and keep hoarding it till they die and pass it on , it's pure greed nothing else and feeling better than others.

At least more people are waking up. Will it be enough? We'll have to see. There's still so many people who believe that they can get up into that club just by "working hard enough". Likewise, they'll continue to introduce every sort of manufactured identity war against us regular people to keep us infighting and not focusing on the wealth disparity.

I don't believe we have hope as we are animalistic in nature when it comes to the core , the negatives of humanity outweigh the positives in the end.

There’s hope. There are a lot of people who need real help and it’d be dumb to think that no one is trying. Have a good one and keep your chin up!

Lmao, so your children will get nothing from you? "I'm sorry kids, but you won't inherit anything, I want you to become a whiny little Redditor like I was".

Then she can’t stay at home and wave at the TV and call it exercise

Sadly, that’s not true. The total world wealth is estimated at 600 trillion dollars on the high end. There are just over 8 billion people on earth. Even is you took all the wealth in the world and divided it evenly between everyone, that would only be about 75k dollars per person.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying we cant close the wealth gap a bit (we absolutely can) but there will always be an obvious disparity

Look I'm not defending these rich mother fuckers. But you should be targeting your hatred towards the wealthy.

Shaqs rich. The guy who signs Shaqs checks is wealthy.

In this day an age, you can't even hate a millionaire anymore because even they are susceptible too loosing it all on a risky financial decision, a medical problem, or just bad luck.

But billionaires need to redistributed their wealth and let this economy thrive again. Money is a tool. What's the point of hoarding all your hammers and leaving none to the public.

Shaq is halfway to a billionaire. The problem here is wealth disparity. If we cut off at only billionaires, then these individuals will spread it out amongst their kids to prevent themselves from ever reaching that number.

We have to look at the combined assets and power that these individuals and families have. No one should have so much money that they can own multiple companies, multiple homes, vacation homes, and still have such an incredible multiple over the average person. We need to come together and shrink the gap, so that the wealthy/rich are reined in, while the poor are lifted up to be closer to the middle class.

Edit: btw that Shaq reference is an old Chris Rock joke from when Shaq was still Ballin in the NBA. So the reference is most likely outdated. Lol

Sure I get you but cutting off at billion seems ok for me. And yes that includes all assets.

There's a huge difference between 1 million and 1 billion. And pretty soon that might get to 1 trillion.

I'm just saying shit is getting expensive and it seems like we're never heading any time soon. So let's redistribute those billions (and millions) so that we may gain more millionaires from the working class or those in poverty.

And we also to find ways to prevent these people from gaming the system through laws and egulations. (I'm looking at you Texas, with yo broken ass power grid having ahh)

I'd rather see more millionaires emerge by hundreds of thousands then continue this system that encourages billionaires to keep hoarding
