Hold on there. My wealth was made in the rental housing business, by my labor, not someone else's. I now earn interest on the earnings and profits from that enterprise. That wealth is available to borrow from the banks that hold it (at low interest rates at that).
I'm actually eager to find ways to make my humble little cashier salary work long-term. I don't really need much. I'm big on staycations, I'm not the sort who absolutely must see Paris before I dieThat all depends on what the material goals of the family are.
I'm actually eager to find ways to make my humble little cashier salary work long-term. I don't really need much. I'm big on staycations, I'm not the sort who absolutely must see Paris before I die, so a lower income, without any additional help (other than what I make from the sale of my house) just might work. And at this point, I'm not sure a secretarial job would be preferable to what I'm doing now. I really do like it. Most days.
Well, what kind of hedge fund scheme you run exactly?
THANK you! I think it's addressing those who equate joblessness to laziness. As I've already shared, in the real world it seems to have more to do with who we know than our abilities, and whether or not the employing agency is in the mood to hire us on any given day.The statement is false on it's face. Hard work alone guarantees nothing.

Can you define the super wealthy and how you know what they want?
How do you know they want to siphon off and appropriate from middle class and want 90% of the world to die?
The merely wealthy are the upper 1% of the population who scooped up a large amount of the productivity gains of the past several decades. The super-wealthy are the one-tenth of the 1% who are astoundingly wealthy and who have gained enormously over that period of time. This has been at the expense of the poor and the middle class (and the middle class are the ones who actually do the work). I have researched it well--through public sources and my own private knowledge.
The super-wealthy are, of course, not a monolithic group. But there is a sizeable contingent among them who have a religious zeal about the "need for depopulation". Every so often some of the more foolish among them, like Ted Turner or Jacques Cousteau pop off about their desire to see drastic depopulation. Not all of the people in the depopulation group are super-wealthy but they all live and work among the elites.
I know it's easy to get caught up on what's fair, but any type of socialism or universal-anything is in now way fair. No matter what system of government you have, someone will have to take up the slack. In this case, paying a McDonalds worker the same as a doctor is a major slap in the face.
It's just like the wage gap myth for women. Women don't really get paid less, they actually work less than men on average. They work less hours and take more breaks/vacations.
8 Reasons Why The "Gender Pay Gap" Is A Total Sham
Things are more fair under a capitalistic system. You get paid for your skill level and the value you provide to the world/your clients, etc.
If robots replace humans, then get in the business of robot programming. Learn code. Every year, online retail sales are taking bigger chunks out of brick-and-mortar stores. I work for a guy who makes millions buying and selling on Amazon and Google, using affiliate marketing, and so much more.
You have to adjust with the times, learn new skills, and grow as a person.
I'm not super rich but I believe in reducing global population. While we can certainly feed and clothe more people we do so by reducing the quality of life for most. Fewer people can enjoy a better life, and reduce the damage to the planet.
It's a shame there is a strong inverse correlation between fertility and income in the world.
You'd be surprised how many wealthy people have never actually worked for a living, instead collecting unearned income, even the fruits of someone else's labour: inherited, property income, portofolio income, interests, rents. Some even set up hedge funds for "income."
Doubtless, true. But the system is rigged to increase their wealth at the expense of some very hard-working people. You are correct that there is no conspiracy to keep the poor, poor. In fact, most of the super-wealthy desire to siphon off the productivity of the hard-working middle class and appropriate it for themselves and the poor.
That's a very tiny percentage.
