things eventually balance themselves out. once the wealth transfer reaches a certain threshold, there will eventually be revolutions because the very people they count on to protect them and their interests (police, military) are not part of them. could take hundreds of years though. then they go to the other extreme. it's like a see-saw. rinse and repeat.

hes entertaining on Shark Tank for being a dirt bag.

He's not a dirt bag.

Rich people will always exist.

But income equality is the issue which crashed the economy in 1928 and almost crashed it in 2007 if the government didn't intervene.

You had rich execs flying in private jets asking the government for help. :snoop:

Wealth redistribution is not a dirty idea, because it really means "pay people". Especially in face of record profits and very unequal wealth distribution.

The only reason these guys are so rich because they are not paying people, and we have wage levels similar to the 90's.

To answer his question, I don't want to be Bill Gates, I just want to pay my bills and buy groceries.

Trickle down economics is just a political term for supply-side economics, which is a school of macroeconomic thought. I'm not sure what your point is.
