Given the state of our societies, I think we are in desperate need of some wealth-bashing.
With our technology, nearly nobody should need to live without health-care or in poverty. But so many do. And what is even more alarming: So many people do in the rich countries.
How is this justified by the thesis that the wealth of some people make the others richer too.
It is a myth of capitalism. That's it.
What is left to the 99%: Charities of the wealthy people that earn more by just stupid investing than most of the others with good ideas or entrepreneurship can ever hope to make.
Also those here hoping to rise up to the top should know that -- it is a lottery game and most of us will simply not win. Do we really, really want a world, where the "Winners take it all" and the others have to fall?
I know, in such a world, Human kind has lost.
