It’s ****ing haunting.

I saw starving kids down in Mexico, trying to sell gum for a nickel. Parents that would chop off their child's limb just to gain sympathy in hopes of getting more money from passersby. I'm with OH when it comes to precision assassinations of the people who are running this planet into the ground. But I reiterate, wealth is not the problem. Selfishness and greed are.

Not denying that. But that's not all cases. That's why I've said that the people that do good with their money regardless of if there wealthy or not are alright in my book.

Good example, my mom is well off and always donates to charity whenever possible. It's just a case by case basis. But I agree that there is a lot of corruption to being wealthy.

What’s your mom’s net worth?

I'm not comfortable being more specific as it doesn't matter. Just that I know that wealth isn't always corrupt.

I don’t think she’s the kind of rich I’m talking about but how would I know

Perhaps not. I was just making a different point.

there's even a major difference between a millionaire and a billionaire

Agreed. Just saw your edit. Still.

There’s a thousand millions in a billion.

If you made a million dollars a year you’d have to work a thousand years to earn a billion dollars.
