Not all rich in the world are greedy, but the global climate sucks right now.
I really am sick of too many on the far right thinking "capitalism" is a form of government.
The Saudi Royal family owns businesses, like oil and banks, and invest in the global weapons industry. Gadaffi was a billionaire who owned stock in GE. Fidel Castro had an estimated personal wealth of $800,000,000 dollars.
Hitler did not ban private business, he stole it from the public and gave it to his loyalists.
Even the Un Family has global investments.
There is not one nation friend or foe that does not invest in the global market.
What has happened is the rich people have out sourced their greed.
People set up shadey companies that offer big profits for nefarious enterprises, the rich see "if I invest I get ten percent return" and suddenly another forrest goes and species become extinct, or children make you stuff populations are enslaved and nature raped.
Unregulated wealth generation is a breeding ground for horror and exploitation.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.
