Got one question now that the wealth gap is so bad that 5 people basically own what the entire world makes


When are we gonna tell these hoarders they have enough and cut off thier access.

How about never. 

1) If someone keeps their own wealth, it isn't hoarding, it is thrift.
2) The 5 wealthiest people in the world employ HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of people -- maybe millions.
3) You and your ilk don't have the power to take a lollipop from a sleeping child.  It is beyond laughable you could garner enough power to even get close to the 100th level ring around these people.
4) You advocate theft from jealousy.

UGP being UGP, it's hard to tell whether she means, literally, 5 people own the world, or if it's hyperbolic metaphor. UGP being UGP, it's probably literal, and she doesn't know what hyperbole is. But who knows?

Those wealthiest people, directly and indirectly, employ millions, and through those businesses feed, clothe, provide housing for, and create the things people use in their lifestyles. Even freeway overpasses - with which UGP may have some direct experience - are built with tax money from those rich people.

They do know that Warren Buffet is this country's richest liberal right?  I mean They should be forcing old Warren to give up his money right now and now to some charity after he dies. That is if they were consistant that is.

In October 2016 (https://www.forbes.com/sites/chasewithorn/2016/10/04/forbes-400-the-full-list-of-the-richest-people-in-america-2016/#142fa61a22f4) Buffett was "only" 3rd.

1st - Bill Gates, liberal

2nd - Jeff Bezos, liberal

3rd - Warren Buffett, liberal

4th - Mark Zuckerberg, liberal

5th - Larry Ellis, arrogant jerk

6th - Michael Bloomberg, liberal

7th - Koch, libertarian

8th - Koch, libertarian

9th - Larry Page, pretty sure he's liberal

10th - Sergey Brin, pretty sure he's liberal

It is no exaggeration to say that if any US political party is The party of the Rich, it's the Democrat Party.

One of Warren Buffett's sons lives here. I don't know his politics, but he has donated a lot of money to the community.

Two most recent ones.

The stark-raving economic stupidity of these people never ceases to amaze me.  They all literally believe that wealthy people "hoard" their wealth to sit around in the basements of their mansions and take money-baths like Monty Burns.  They are literally incapable of grasping the concept that rich people do not bury money in their yard in Mason jars, but instead use that money to invest in one fashion or another.  Either it's in a bank, which then loans out that money to buy houses or start businesses or whatever, or they invest it directly through stocks, bonds, and in a lot of cases direct investments as venture capitalists (which, DUmmies, means that they take a big chance on someone who is trying to actually start a new business that will hire people).

One way or the other, though, the one thing that successful wealthy people do NOT do is "hoard" that money.

Indeed! Looking at the people on that Top 10 list from Forbes, pretty much all made their $$ from companies they created,either from scratch or by growth. Most/all are still active in their companies or retired (not sure about Buffett and Bloomberg). With the possible exception of a few who retired, none are even like the Kennedys, living off trust funds begun a couple of generations ago (trust funds that, nevertheless, invest in the economy).
