The rich have become so super rich that already this year they have spent 3.4 BILLION dollars on
   
Art. Sotheby's has announced a record breaking year in sales and it is only August.

The rich have become so super rich that every auction has been setting records...and this is going on not only at Sotheby's but also in Dubai and London and at Christie's and at all the art houses around the world. Chinese art is going through the roof. Workers there make pennies in wages but the Chinese rich are spending a million dollars for an old porcelain jug.

Children are dropping dead of starvation and instead of saving children people are spending billions on art.

I think it is time for the meek to inherit the earth (and some art).

The fact that this guy teaches kids is scary.

2. The rich create wealth among their own class.
 
They will hoard it until they die.  

Yeah DUmmies.  The money they are spending on these things doesn't create jobs.  It simply evaporates into thin air.  All of you want to talk about someone 'in the biz' who is selling a lot of stuff but I guess they don't make any money on the deal hence, no job was created/saved.

What idiots.

Gee whiz. My sales of trashy bling are up. Maybe I'll have to hire another salesdrone.

Dummie knows a person working a job created by "rich people" and still maintains that "rich people" don't create jobs. 

Amazing that these people can gather the wits enough to open a web browser.
