Get an education, get some seed money and get rich.

Donald Trump was born rich, Bill Gates was not. Gates now trumps the Donald.

Don't ***** and complain, work hard and accomplish something with your life.

The gap will continue to widen, although everyone is getting richer. There is no way to prevent the rich from getting richer faster in a capitalist system as the rich have more capital to begin with.

The big lie in the rich-get-richer while the poor-get-poorer is in the second half of the statement. The poor are getting richer too. Home ownership world-wide has never been higher than right now. To that list add college attendance, automobile ownership, participation in the stock market, television and computer ownership - the list goes on and on. This is not because the poor have less money than they had 10 or 20 or 50 years ago. It is because they have more.

There is no way to overcome the riches' faster accumulation of wealth. As the last 100 years have proved, capitalism in democratic societies produces more wealth than any other system. In fact, it seems best that the rich become richer. Even though Bill Gates has his 66,000 square foot home, he is giving away almost all his money. Warren Buffett is giving away $35 billion. They are proving that capitalism is generous.

There's an old phrase that says capitalism spreads the wealth unevenly. Communism spreads the misery equally. I side with the former and reject the latter.

One hundred years ago if the money the average man had it would stack up 3 1/2 feet off the ground. The rich, their money would have reached the Eiffel Tower.
Today our money would still be about 3 1/2 feet and the rich, their money would reach the top of Mt. Everest.
Why? What did you think would happen?

why is that important? As long as the poor get richer, what does it matter if the rich get richer at a faster rate? Is that necessaily bad? What if we lessened the gap by making everyone poorer. Would that be a good thing?

The poor will get poorer and the rich will get richer. It's sad that the rich people have all these money just to hide them. Meanwhile the poor people need to borrow money to survive.

How ridiculous?

then we will end up like central and south america, africa, and easter europe. there will be many attempts at revolution and civil war.
in many 3 world countries there is little or no middle class. just a very small elite class and an enormous class that is in poverty. humans can only stand to be poor for so long and will eventually revolt. violently if necessary.

Back in the 50s and 60s a middle class family could operate on one income.
