> but that statistic pretty good evidence that return on capital vs the growth of income is not the major cause of wealth inequality I see 27.5% as too damn high to be among the richest in the world just based on birth lottery. > I don't see how I am unfairly disadvantaged by someone else's obscene wealth through winning the birth lottery. Wealthy people get disproportionate benefits in: legal system [1], healthcare [2], political influence [3]. I can go on, but there few examples are sufficient to see why someone should get these privileges just because of birth. > What exactly is Jim Walton consuming that should be given to the poor? Don't know about Waltons, but Koch brother are consuming their wealth to purchase political influence [4]. I would rather have it spent on poor.
