Oh no, a poor person's influence doesn't stop with them. It's only the 
beginning! There is a political class that takes advantage of poor people's

There was much discussion of this last week as anticipation of a new 
billionaire might occur from the Powerball lottery.  Having a lot of 
money is a responsibility.  Best not left to amateurs and why financial 
advisers are recommended to winners.  Good example of that was Hurly in 
the TV show "Lost" who did indeed get a financial manager who took care 
of things (he did buy the fast food chain he worked at as revenge) and 
was also unaware of what companies he owned.  There is a hilarious scene 
of him meeting with his financial manager where he complains about a 
company that I think was in the news and the manager then tells him he 
owns the company.

Corporations should be limited in size and lifespan. And taxes should

"The rich acting like misers"? Based on what? What someone else said or wrote 
about them?
There is an old say , don't judge someone until you've walked a mile in their 
shoes.I remember my trip to India where I had the feeling that almost every 
person I interacted with  had $ signs in their eyes as they looked at me or 
spoke to me. It was as if I could read their minds. "This guy is a rich 
American, how can I get some of his money"?It creeps you out.
I'll agree with you that every circumstance that we experience has it's ups and 
downs. Just ask those that have won lotteries! One minute your friends and 
family love you, the next, they think you're a greedy bastard if you don't 
share your winnings with everyone that wants to share.And if you do share, 
you're back to square one.
I read a nice piece of advice once or twice that helps keep your life in 
perspective. "Thou shalt not covet".

What about the middle class? If they have income they spend it too and there
are magnitudes more of them than the rich. Your argument is a straw man.

Dude! those are examples. Rich people don't go out and bury their
wealth. They buy things and/or put it to work. If they put it in
a bank, the bank uses it to loan to people, companies, cities,
states and nations who in turn pays people with it for services,
products and pensions. The money works! The rich manage it.

ROTFL! Mike, you DO realize building products like that don't put
a lot of people to work?  Much if it is custom built with small
crews. Stop celebrating the rich screwing you over.  I guess you
think it feels good?

A middle class with the ability to spend would way outweigh the
rich ability to put people to work.

Doyou think this is fair or right? Billionairism is mental disease
called greed. And don't tell me they're the jobs creators. It's
small
businesses that are the jobs creators. The big companies buy up the
small ones and lay people off. Acquisitions are a bad business fad.
Corporations should be limited in size and lifespan. And taxes
should
increase of the wealthy to discourage wealth accumulation and
contracting billionairism.
