When a man tells you that he got rich through hard work, ask him “Whose?” — Don Marquis

You know, there’s nothing quite like reading about delusional bazillionaires to get the bile rising in my throat. And god damn, I just love the taste of vitriol.

In a properly functioning capitalist economy, rich people don’t “create jobs” for workers; workers, upon having jobs, create rich people. 

This is assuming the concept of capitalism is, in fact, stronger than humanity’s inherent shittiness. Obviously, this is not the case, and that is exactly why the executive branch of our government answers to Wall Street goons and its cabinet is full of people getting paid by the Illuminati. Did I happen to mention that in an improperly functioning capitalist economy, rich people create “conspiracy theorists”? :?
