World's billionaire population growing



The worldwide population of those with wealth exceeding $1 billion has grown to 2,325, up 7% from last year.

The U.S. leads the way with the highest number of billionaires.

New York is the city with the highest concentration of billionaires—103 billionaires live in the Big Apple.

In our economic system (or theory, rather), inflation is constantly growing. Hence, the dollar becomes worth less. and less. and less. Hence the whole term of "billionaire" is no longer even a big deal.

If I was a billionaire I'd proabbly take half that and buy gold and silver bars and build a place to house it all with some fanfuckingtastic guarding. Think underground. I don't trust the USD.

Im sure if you factored inflation into all of this you find that its probably dead even from the last time they took a count.

About 2,000 of the richest people have more money than the worth of the entire Dow Industrial. Over 7 trillion.

Do we finally have a consensus that trickle down economics are good for the rich only? If so, when in the god damn hell is fucking Obama gonna finally raise their mother effing taxes!?!!?! He has had plenty of time. Are the rich now completely untouchable?

You idiot, the Democrats couldn't wait to throw money at the wealthy via bailouts. Trickle down, Democrat style. And morons like you ate it up.

"We have to bail them out!!! If we don't we're DOOOOOOMED!!!"

Besides, don't you keep bragging about how much money you have? When are we going to tax the shit out of you, scumbag?

You can't control the rich. Obama knows this. Raise their taxes and they will simply tell the USA to fuck off and go live in the lap of luxury somewhere else. You just can't blame Obama for everything, even though he's not a very good president. Focus should be on the stock market and why the hell it is so detached from the rest of the economy.

I don't know about parties but I've had lunch with Dave and his lovely bride, and they were delightful. Be happy to do it again when he's back down this way.

He is mere miles from me and I'm afraid his brand of crazy might be contagious. :)
