No, I'm not going to watch some random youtube video, of unknown length, to try to find out what your point is. If you want to say something, say it.

  13 minutes, 20 seconds. I've felt like you but I was glad I clicked. TL;DW: wealthy people own most things and their incomes are from what they own/control. They earn more than they spend and buy more control with the excess leading to ever more consolidation of wealth.

  > No, I'm not going to watch some random youtube video, of unknown length, to try to find out what your point is. If you want to say something, say it. Exactly! It's also by an unknown individual. I'm not going to waste my time on a Youtube video without a tl;dr summary (and on many topics, an explanation of why the maker has credibility and where he's coming from ideologically).
