THAT IS AN ATROCITY WHEN THERE ARE BABIES HUNGRY IN THE STREETS AND SINGLE MOMS WHO CAN'T CLOTHE THEIR 14 KIDS TO GO TO SCHOOL WHEN THESE SOB'S ARE POISONING THE COUNTRY WITH ARSENIC FROM THEIR GOLD MINES AND THEY DON'T PAY TAXES WHILE LITTLE TIMMY CAN'T EVEN GET MEDICAL ATTENTION AT HIS LOCAL COUNTY HOSPITAL AND HIS PUPPY JUST DIED.

Bah...you can't expect the richest people to just dump all of the money they've earned/inherited/invested to cover expenses for people who are either down on their luck, lazy, stupid, etc.

Besides, how much of that 1 trillion dollars is on paper? What if they all liquidated all of their holdings? Who's gonna buy it?

Stop complaining. Put the effort into making money that you put into bitching about other people making money, and maybe you'll be rich.

Take note of this... WORK HARD, There are no "Get rich quick" people on those lists. They did their research, they made the products. Now they are rich. :)

Why should I have to work if you're just going to exploit me and get rich off of it? I deserve compensation for those injustices.
