Are your talking about the world's multi-billionnaires? The ones who caused the GFC perhaps? Or just those in Greece, Italy & the US who withdrew not only their labor [withdrawn long ago] but also their capital & who now seek to enforce austerity on mainstream workers perhaps .....
1. You cannot legislate the obscenely rich into even greater prosperity by legislating the dirt poor out of survival.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3.The government cannot give to anybody [ie. the rich - eg. investment bankers] anything that the government does not first take from somebody else [eg. workers].
4. You cannot multiply wealth by feeding it into idle parisites.
5. When 1% of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other 99% is going to take care of them, and when the other 99% gets the idea that it does no good to work because just 1% is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.
6. Capitalism fails when it runs out of other people's efforts.
I strongly recommend you take the time to watch the 4 part series, 'MELTDOWN', produced by Canadians for Al Jazeerah:
