At least Gates continues the fine tradition of philanthropy ala Andrew Carnegie and Free Libraries. The current role model for CEO and investment mogul behavior lies closer to that of Bernie Madoff.
Hatshepsut, you are changing the subject. Nothing you wrote has anything to do with the disparity between the rich and poor.
No, we simply see through your bullshit.
Alot like when we debate religion, someone will quote a verse, and we skip the crap and remind them even before you get to the first word of the book of myth, you have to establish that a god is required in the first place.
All your side does is simply argue "It is right the way I do it". Same crap all religions argue, same selfish self absorbed argument.
When you say the way you view economics works, no one should argue it doesn't. The issue is for who. We did the "fuck the poor" and deregulation for the past 30 years, and all it has done is sucked the money up to the top an exploded the pay gap, and countless times when wen point to rich people who agree with us, you willfully ignore that.
And just like with religion, when people stand up to it, you either fake empathy, or play victim.
