Too Few People Have Too Much Money

July 4th 2007 06:45
The worlds richest man is no longer Bill Gates, he's now a Mexican and his name is Carlos Slim. He owns a big yaucht and OH MY GOD IS THAT A HELICOPTER PARKED ON THAT YACHT? Wow, they make yachts with helicopters now.



Sooo, he's a Mexican, weren't Mexicans supposed to be poor border hoppers? Yeah, thats about right, so just how is it that the worlds richest man can live in such a poor country. Simple question, simple answer, because he's crooked. Maybe not by law, and by law I mean legal law, as in the law of common sense.


He exploits poor people to further his own agenda, he commands 8% of Mexicos gross GDP, were talking about the profit output here, thats pretty damn big to say the least. But hey, whos to argue? He's a billionaire, he got there through some sort of crooked behaviour, no doubt, and he's likely to stay where he is.

Though in reality his example of the rich having too much money is rather poor, the reality of the matter is the top 1% of rich people in the world own 80% of the worlds wealth, they don't like to share, they pay maybe a dollar a day to some hapless Vietnamese kid who does all the hard labor. But whos to argue? Fairs fair eh?

I think those sort of people have part of their brain missing.

I was about to do a post on this myself, Ahmed, I read about it on CNN. I was quite horrified.

Bill Gates got there through engenuity and hard work and now rewards his workers handsomely. I can't say I approve of his methods and extreme wealth but the Mexican is without conscience.

What has happened with God?

God rewards the noble with poverty. I eat my freeze-dried noodles with pride.

If you aren't broke, I don't trust you.
