Aristocratic Habits

Sigh. If only that were true. Some wealthy people reinvest and others hoard. The hoarding is especially true in bad economies, like the current one, which just perpetuates the problem. Have you not noticed the boom in gold investment? Hell, every other commercial on Fox News is an ad for investing in gold. That's the wealthy man's equivalent of sticking money under your mattress.

Do you really believe world's wealthiest people are buying gold because Glenn Beck tells them to do so? Do you really believe the world's wealthiest people watch Fox News, or any television at all for that matter, on any given day?

They do not. Poor people watch the news and hoard. Poor people buy gold in a declining economy. Wealthy people do not, otherwise they would become poor. Only a person who is born in poverty, and is blind to anything beyond their own poverty, can believe such nonsense.

I don't understand why some poor people are so cynical that they actually believe that the wealthy want to bring war and suffering to all of humanity. They do not. If all your money problems were gone tomorrow, would you dedicate your life to bringing suffering and hardship to all of humanity? Perhaps you are a sociopath and you would, but I would hope you would not. There are occasional sociopaths like Bernard Madof, but these people are rare and are always exposed and disgraced within their lifetime.

Real wealthy people are not animalistic devilish characters who exist only to bring suffering to the world, as you seem to believe. Quite the opposite. With their financial problems taken care of, they concentrate on their legacy, and use their power to benefit humanity. What kind of human being would do otherwise, and for what reason?
