      Capital pays you for being rich in proportion to how rich you are. Elon can't hide behind my 401k, he doesn't fit. Also: most Americans and most people are far poorer than you and I and get paid even less for being rich than you and I.

        Sorry, they've been bought off by said trillionaires.

    How about this trend? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/world-population-in-extreme-poverty-absolute https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/world-population-in-extre... There is growth, it might not be where you are, or it might be superimposed with other effects for you.

      Selfishness is a sin for me but a virtue for billionaires lobbying away the last shreds of tax they are embarrassed to pay? I see how it is.

      That graph ends in 2015. The 2025 graph flattens. Looks like we can explain this trend by the economic development of East Asia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Total_population_living_in_extreme_poverty,_by_world_region_(PovcalNet,_World_Bank),_OWID.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Total_population_living_i... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_poverty https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_poverty
