I'd suck dick to fight famine in Africa.

I haven't quite figured out how it would work though, still beta testing.

That's a bunch of bullshit and you know it ,the top 00.1 percent of the U.S. Population has something like 60+% of the nations wealth. I'd have to find the study but it's almost common knowledge

Yup, but that's irrelevant to my point.

That's perceived wealth and nothing more, what happens when that same money enters into the hands of the peasants?  It gets spent and loses its purchasing power very quickly. The billionaires don't spend their money, they hoard it.

And which point would that be? Is it similar to your earlier point about the person with the gun vs. the person without the gun?

How is the top elite having more money they literally know what to do with scarcity?

So you're saying scarcity doesn't exist?  That's lolsy.

Well, they do spend enough of it to keep luxury service businesses afloat, high end restaurants profitable, mansion builders employed, pilots and chauffeurs on the job, and pencil pushers pushing pencils going. But when it comes to unconditional charity, never. If they do, there is always a favor required, or a return on investment necessary. Publicity, recognition, awards, or a library named in their honor. They are so rich that money ceases to even give them a boner anymore. They seek power and even more power. They even go so far as to strive for material immortality. There are two kinds of Billionaires, though. Nouveau riche and Bloodline Elites. The Nouveau Riche are in over their heads and only tolerated by the Bloodline Elites insofar as their utility. But make no mistake, they will get done in by the Bloodline Elites in a second, the same as any commoner or peasant would.

Yes, when I mean they hoard it I mean they only spend a very small percentage of total wealth, the rest sits there in stocks, bonds, real estate, and cash.  That money isn't flowing through the economy like it would if it was in the hands of the peasants.

Their wealth is nothing more than perceived wealth, it doesn't buy what people think it could buy, money is a human construct and nothing more.

It's important to comprehend the difference between the Nouveau Riche and the Bloodline Elites. A lot of people don't know. They think it's only about dollar signs.

Donald Trump is Nouveau Riche. His wealth is from grandpappy. It's 3rd generation wealth, forged in the furnace of the American Dream. Hillary, though not the direct heir of a millionaire, herself, has been conscripted by the dark lord and is working on behalf of the Bloodline Elites. She is connected to their New World Order through occult ties. She's the Queen Witch.

Vote Donald Trump 2016

One of the truths of this world is abundance; in resources, technology and potential. It's physically possible for the planet to support the current population of earth living a first world lifestyle -- not that it does currently. If the population keeps growing at such a fast rate, all bets are off the table.

Capitalism isn't perfect, but it is the main driving force of innovation and technological achievement. Unfortunately some people will end up with less and others with more, it's how the system works. While a large amount of a person's life is dictated by where they are born and how well off their parents are, their innate human capital (intelligence, creativity, reasoning etc...) and education are better predictors for success, especially in first world countries.

I'm not actively "choosing" to keep my privilege of where I was born, neither are you.

Morally, I don't see why a ten figure bank account makes someone worse than the average person.

You are ballsy for a conspiracy theorist whom believes in some sort of Hillary Death Squads and a Luciferian agenda.
