The top 10% now hold 67.4% of all the wealth in the US.The bottom 50% hold 2.5%.
I hold 50%
I know a richfag. He started a crane company that provides cranes to construction companies, oil companes, ports, etc. The company became very successful and is worth a lot of money now, and hence so is he. He still lives a pretty normie life though and doesn't spend a lot of money, because all of his wealth is in his company. That is to say, his "wealth" is literally the value of his company based on the demand for the products it produces. Meanwhile the bottom 50% are just consumers who spend their EBT and don't make much of anything at all, just eat and consume and complain.
Yes the entire capitalist system is setup to transfer wealth from people who work, to people who don't workBy "people who don't work" I mean- shareholders- investors- creditors (debt/interest)- people who just "own things" and collect subscription fees>>517695055The people I mentioned literally don't work, they literally do nothing productiveThey actually steal money from people who do work
>>517695055Do you really believe it is economically efficient for 50% of society to control only 2.5% of the wealth? That bottom 50% are the people spending money and driving the economy, as opposed to the top 10% who just put money in their bank accounts and never spend it, or use it to purchase politicians.
>>517695247Do you work anon? What do you do in your cage wagie?
>>517695693Though in all honesty, it is the top 0.1% who are the biggest problem, not the rest of the 10%
>>517695693>That bottom 50% are the people spending money and driving the economyIts really funny how people believe this. It's like thinking that eating the corn is what makes it grow, while the faggot that plants and harvests it is a parasite.
>>517695863No, that's just basic economics, numb nuts
>>517695952cringe
>>517695818The problem is there is people who don't work and don't anything productive taking all the wealth in the country by stealing it from people who do work- shareholders- creditors- people who just "own things" and collect subscription fees/rentYou can think of wealth like a pie (pic related)If you take more of the pie, it inherently means everyone else has lessWe have a bunch of peopleWHO DON'T WORKWHO DON'T DO ANYTHING PRODUCTIVETaking a huge amount of the pie>the faggot that plants and harvests cornThis is everyone who has to work for money>eating the cornThis is:- shareholders- creditors- people who just "own things" and collect subscription fees/rentWho don't do anything and take all the corn
>>517694732and thats bad for what reason exactly?
