People with money are brainwashed

I don't think brainwashed is the right term - but that greed is one of the most rewarded character traits in our society is a fundamental problem that we need to address.

Im one of the few people who can honestly say they are not greedy when it comes to money.

I am greedy when it comes to a beautiful river though. Hate seeing anyone else on a gorgeous river. I want it all to myself.
 
Rich people, like any other group, are not inherently evil, brainwashed or more selfish than any other economic group. Wealth itself is just a tool—it amplifies the choices and values of the person who holds it. Some wealthy individuals use their resources for selfish or harmful purposes, while many others contribute positively to society.

Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are good examples giving away most of their wealth for charitable purposes. Both are flawed like the rest of us. Howard Hughes donations have let to many medical breakthroughs.

That said, is a billionaire that does little for charity more brainwashed or evil than anyone else? Most people, including many of our leaders, give very little as a percentage of income to charity.

I'm fortunate enough to have many very wealthy clients. Many multimillionaire but no billionaires. And I have to say, many of them are some of the most charasmatic, thoughtful and caring people I have ever met. The things I see them doing to better society have truly inspired me to do more.

Those who say the wealthy are the problem, instead of blaming others for the worlds problems, I ask what you are doing to better society?
 
A reminder that wage theft is the super majority of all theft.

'Just' multimillionaires are working class. Great lives (nearly all US residents have pretty good lives), but not ownership. And no, the petite bourgeoisie aren't owners either.
 
Most of the mega rich and mega powerful just ****ing suck and are bad people, period.

So let's put the culture wars aside for a moment. This is what they all want, exactly. Make us fight each other instead of uniting.

We're at a global WAR against the common man.

We're the ****ing 99% time to stop bitching around who has right to exist we all ****ing do. They mostly take from us and lie to us at the top. Some tipping points make it more obvious to others and some to some others. But the point remains: THEY ALL SUCK at the very top.

And we can't go on like this ffs. We're heading to either thirld world war or worse: rapidly increasing, modern version of slavery of a common man. Prices go up, environment is taken down to it's ruins, the lie of "constant growth" going to suffocate the common man and the earth. This all is unacceptable.

To change anything we need to stop fighting and take out the god damn fat bastards in the top. I don't know how, yet, but for us to start making plans we need to stop fighting week to week.

I would fix it to say "billionaires"

I dont have any issues with having rich people and having separate income classes, but the disparity is too big due to the amount of money the billionaire class holds.
