I didnt say the 1% were trustafarians, the people protesting them were though
anyway, all the billionaires are in china now, hopefully this exposes that the US isnt the great evil with the huge wealth gap and the 99%ers go to china to protest
liberal source for the 99%

We still have drastically more per capita. The standard of living in China is quite low. But them having problems doesn't mean that our wealth gap isn't too big for our own good.

more per capita?
given that there are 3 billion chinese, the vast majority living in abject poverty I guess it proves my point that china is where the 99% needs to protest next

It does. But it has to be the relevant 99℅, the 99% of China. The 99℅ of the US needs to tax their wealthy to an appropriate degree. But the real monetary problem we have in the US is corporations getting away with paying little to no taxes. How we can solve that one is a mystery to me at this point.

If they're really making no profit than they don't need to pay taxes on their income. But we need to have effective systems in place to prevent businesses from pretending to be non profit in order to dodge taxation.

If they actually make no profit then no. If they hide their profit offshore probably. The USA makes citizens living overseas pay taxes why not companies.

Traeger-Muney, who moved to Israel six years ago, runs a global firm and specializes in working with inheritors, who often get a bad reputation in the press.
“You can come up with lot of words and sayings about inheritors, not one of them is positive: spoiled brat, born with a silver spoon in their mouth, trust fund babies, all these things,” she said, adding that it’s “easy to scapegoat the rich”.
“Sometimes I am shocked by things that people say. If you substitute in the word Jewish or black, you would never say something like that. You’d never say – spoiled rotten or you would never refer to another group of people in the way that it seems perfectly normal to refer to wealth holders.”
...
"Millionaires are entitled to their money! They worked hard for it! ...or they inherited it from their dead, rich parents..."
