Most of us would not think of our circumstance as more than adequate while some just don't have what they need but 1% have as much as the other 99% and this has to be seen as obscene. Modern economies focus on the success of the individual ignoring opportunity for the many, but something is out of whack when this results in a small group gaining all the resources. Apparently $1 million will put you in the 1% club so we arn't necessarily speaking of the super rich although the actions of some are obscene like alledged billionaire Clive Palmer who had one of his companies make political contributions to his own political party while trying to convince government that his company was bankrupt and needed a handout. I really don't care if Donald Trump spends $2 billion in his election campaign but I do think it is obscene he has that capability. Arn't there more important things he could do with the money? Couldn't he do a Bill Gates? Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
