Bill Gates #1 $79.2 Billion Richest Woman, Christy Walton (overall #8) $41.2, from Walmart. UK's Richest, Hinduja Brothers, (overall #63) $15 Micheal Jordon finally scrapes in at #1741 with just the 1 billion dollars " 1 billion isn't scraping it through really...or is it? | |||

I'd say at the very least it would be better to understand how cane into effect than how it gets distributed. However if you take the rate of return on capital being greater than economic growth over the long term, the obvious conclusion is money goes to money whether you work hard or not! | |||

" That's not exactly a valid excuse though mate. The 1% will always be on top because the majority of the remaining 99% make bad decisions. They know that, they understand the deal, they leverage that and that is why they are the 1%. It's not the 1%'s fault you keep giving your money back buying stupid shit and not investing in yourself then wondering why the fuck you don't have it anymore.. Here's the thing... Most People spend half their lives doing stupid shit and the other half trying to explain why it totally wasn't really stupid. But the whole time the 1% are to blame for their stupid shit and bad decisions. Now see, by that logic the moaners and bitchers in this thread might aswell blame Homer Simpson for their woes because that would in fact, make every bit of sense as blaming the 1%. And as for the guy a few posts above above who thinks they are all mass murderers and out to fucking kill us..Aye sir ok. Lol just fucking lol! You have absolutely no fucking idea about basic economics because if you did you would know why that is complete bullshit. | |||

You have absolutely no fucking idea about basic economics because if you did you would know why that is complete bullshit." It wasn't an excuse - merely an observation. Everyone makes bad decisions and choices...1% or otherwise. It stands to reason that the impact of those decisions can depend upon how wealthy you or your family is. Such is privilege. How some families acquired money, whether it was through hard graft, a positive attitude, slavery, war, blood diamonds or just walking across the right bit of a beach with a metal detector matters little, I feel. It is what it is and for the foreseeable future, that's how it'll remain. I'm happy with my little piece of the pie. I'm lucky...ive been privileged. I had a supportive family, decent academic ability, good health, the fortune to find a special someone to spend my life with...I could go on. I personally feel that any successes I've had in my life involved more than the amount of vigour I yanked my bootstraps by. It's cool if others don't agree. | |||

It depends whether your happy living in a system that's designed to repress 99% of the population. If economic growth in the long term is below inflation in the long term, then obviously everyone will be kept on the treadmill.(although myself personally, I'm quite happy being on the treadmill) If you create currency through debt with interest applied, again your always going to have a 99% if it is 99%? I'd probably think it's something more like 99.999% , if we're taking the wealthiest people in the world list | |||

It's only a lack of ambition if you want to be a billionaire?. Your confusing a monetary driving force and innovation. There's two separate things and you don't always get one through the other. So your of the opinion of trickle down economics as a functional stimulus for innovation, but as you've already pointed out the money trickles upwards, wouldn't it be better to chuck the money at the bottom and let it take it's natural course. Your theory that everything I do through technological innovation is completely flawed. You can't pay somebody to have ideas, that only comes through creativity, all you can do is buy a creative persons time while he's being creative. Anyhow getting back to the original point I made is that capital is out earning labour and it has done for quite some number of years, and that is the main reason you have a concentration of wealth in the 1% | |||

"Why are you using the term 1% still ? Everyone in England on above average wage is in the top 1%. " that's not technically accurate though. Earnings are not wealth. Wealth is assets. If I earn a million a week but spend a million a week without acquiring assets, I don't technically have any wealth, admittedly it would be very hard but at 20k a year probably very do able | |||
