How is the economy supposed to function when 20 people are sitting on all the money?

20 Super Wealthy Individuals Have More Money Than The Poorest 152 Million Americans Combined

by Michael Snyder

Do we need any more evidence before we will finally admit that the middle class in America is being systematically destroyed? As you will see below, when you add together all of the wealth of the poorest 152 million Americans, it still falls short of the combined net worth of the 20 wealthiest Americans. This is a list that includes Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Mark Zuckerberg. To many, the core of the problem is that people like Gates and Buffett are making too much money. But I disagree. There is nothing wrong with working hard, building a company and making lots of money. The real problem is the fact that the bottom half of the country is steadily getting poorer. Once upon a time, this nation had the healthiest and most vibrant middle class in the history of the world, but now that middle class is dying. If we don’t do something about this, soon we may not have much of a middle class left.

No matter how you feel about socialism, capitalism, fuedalism, or whatever ism happens to be your thing, the fact is, when these 20 people wind up controlling ALL the money, and the rest of the population has diddly squat, the economy is not going to function.

WHatever kind of spin you choose to put on it, when those 20 people finally succeed in grabbing ALL the money, the US economy will cease to exist.

Ever play Monopoly?

What happens when one player manages to buy up everything on the board.

The game is over.

That's what happens.

Are you an idiot clueless person?
All the fucking system is completely rigged and in control of just of those few hands! They control through trickery, corruptions, all the politicians in the world, all the governments, banking systems, and through it all the major industries, mass-media, schooling and university learning systems, they control all the scientific world through grants, they control all the world secret services, militaries, armament industries, hightech, IT, telecom companies. They subverted and control all the important official religions, all over the world. They bribed and paid all the leaders from any organization that have a force of some sort! They are corrupting the youngsters in the lewdness, senseless materialism, depravity and nothingness through their corroded school systems.

Anybody, for real, without to be affiliated to those in power or doing and abetting their agenda have no chance whatsoever to have any success at all! When a person become aware of those facts, through direct experience and later on, through informing himself, then become very disillusioned by this world he opened the eyes into! It's obvious, not your case, yet!

Hello, welcome on GLP, go fucking read some stuff before open you mouth w/o knowledge!

When you consider the number of people who live paycheck to paycheck, I probably have more money than 150 million americans combined.

usually civil war breaks out before it gets as bad as this.

I wouldnt be surprised if the top 20 were hauled out and killed like marie antoinette and the likes of old france.

Civil war, or kill off the top, either way I wouldnt want to be a buffet or gates. It is ugly to have so much when everyone is poor.

Buffet, gates, etc. they are guilty of horrendous greed

So, you see why all those handful of elites, have to take precaution measures like DUMB's bunkers, armies on their payroll, etc just to be able to pass over these "inconveniences"
