From an evolutionary standpoint, the poors successfully procreate at a faster rate than the rich.

Correct me if I am wrong.... but the only reason the "poor" are more successful at reproduction (in America) is because they are kept from starving in the streets by the efforts of "the rich," if you want to consider the 50% of the population who actually pay taxes as "rich."

There's "poor," like we see in Africa where they drink and bathe in sewer water, and then there's "America-poor" who buy their frozen pizzas at walmart and have plenty of time to go downtown to babytown. The nonexistence of healthcare for the poor in Africa means only a small portion of the kids they have make it to survive being raped at the age of 8 by some AIDS guy thinking that's how he gets cured. In America the poor have government health care and WIC to make sure their many babies get formula, all paid for with tax money. And this is fine. I just wished any of that actually worked to not make them poor any more.

We have laid the wide foundations; built it skyward stone by stone.
It is ours, not to slave in, but to master and to own.

The rich have less kids because on average they wait until they are older and only have 1-2 kids. Meanwhile you've got broke teenagers pumping out kids because education and healthcare in this country are utter poo poo.

The poor stay poor because they are paid at just barely subsistence level and can't save any money, so if an emergency or life event happens they either have to borrow money or just get hosed.

The way out is save up investment capital and then do something reasonable with it but pretty much nobody can save up more than a grand or so.

The poors spend the little money they have in the shops, which means that the shops can stay open, and the companies making the things get moneys so they can continue to make things and pay the poors making the things as little as they can get away with so they can spend money in the shops. The people who own the shops and the companies making the things pay themselves as much as they can get away with and put it in a bank account where it rots.

Logic is wreath of pretty flowers that smell bad.
The super-rich are hoarding wealth estimated to be about $21 trillion, hidden away in offshore tax-havens. This is equivalent to the combined GDP of the USA and Japan, enough money to feed, clothe and educate every child on Earth, eliminate global hunger, provide clean water, fund healthcare and vaccination programs that could eliminate malaria, measles, polio, tetanus, pertussis, and diptheria, and basically solve many of the world's problems at a stroke. Instead this money is just sitting in offshore bank accounts doing nothing.

I don't give a poo poo about political principals, conservatism versus liberalism, any smug "welcome to the Republican party" bullshit, or even whether that money was accumulated by fair means or foul; when children are going blind through lack of clean drinking water, anyone with the means to prevent that who doesn't do so is, by any practical definition, evil.

"I'll be whatever I wanna do!"
The "poor" build the roads, construct building, collect the garbage, farm the fields, raise live stock, fish the seas, and on and on. If the poor disappeared, all of these activites would stop, and society would crumble. Also, the rich would stop being rich if they didn't have anyone to steal from or sell cheap plastic poo poo too.

What the gently caress does the super rich even do? The only reason they are rich is because of the poor they exploit, who are only poor is because they are being exploited. If the super rich were suddenly plucked off the earth, the poor would stop being poor, as they aren't getting hosed over by the rich. Eventually the cycle would begin anew, as some assholes would eventually get in power.

Also, why are the poor called "lazy" when they frequently have to work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week? What exactly is "lazy" about being forced to work non-stop to just barely stay alive? I am not saying there are no people that exist that refuse to work, but you are genuinely loving retarded if you think they in anyway represent anything but a tiny insignificant minority.

actually this is a pretty good argument for murdering the rich or at least robbing them even if they're not completely reprehensible, but we're talking there's maybe 1% of the 1% who aren't complete shitbags

If you want to feel what it's like to be rich pretty much just be single without kids and have some minimum level of self control, and then spend time socially around your coworkers who have children.

The rich are way worse due to the sheer loving waste of concentrated, largely untaxed and unused wealth they sit on.

At least a poor person that is reasonably healthy, you can take some money and convince them to do something productive for it, and you can turn their needs into productive work in an exploitative fashion, but they don't care because the bills get paid. You can take and mobilize a whole vast horde of poors and build and do incredible things and make life better for all citizens, including them, on public work projects and other cool things.

But nah rich people would rather see single moms work three jobs to feed her kids while they bitch and moan about the estate tax, the only way their vast hordes of dead capital are likely to ever re-enter the economy save to indulge some rich human being's eccentric and expensive tastes.

seriously if you don't have a real, major, seething contempt for the vastly wealthy, you should. even if you're rich you should feel bad enough about being a huge parasite on society that you're plotting to kill and destroy others in high society.

we respect the antelope; for the antelope is not a mere antelope
Kerry A. Dolan, the editor of Forbes billionaires list wrote the article Prince Alwaleed and the Curious Case of Kingdom Holding Stock upon the 2013 publication of the list. Dolan wrote of the importance of the list to [Prince] Al Waleed [bin Talal], most notably detailing the leap in the share price of Kingdom Holdings in the time leading up to the publication of the list. Al Waleed would blind copy Dolan on text messages he sent to prominent people to impress her, she also spent a week with him in Riyadh in 2008, at his behest, touring his palaces. In 2006 Forbes estimated his net worth as $7 billion less than Al Waleed claimed. He telephoned Dolan at her home, with Dolan claiming that he sounded “nearly in tears”. Al Waleed also had Kingdom Holding’s chief financial officer fly to New York before a previous list had been published to ensure that Forbes used his stated numbers.Dolan wrote that “…for the past few years former Alwaleed executives have been telling me that the prince, while indeed one of the richest men in the world, systematically exaggerates his net worth by several billion dollars….The value that the prince puts on his holdings at times feels like an alternate reality, including his publicly traded Kingdom Holding, which rises and falls based on factors that, coincidentally, seem more tied to the Forbes billionaires list than fundamentals.”
