Economy drainers.

in #money10 years ago

Which type of person is the biggest drain on the economy? The middle class? No. The immigrant? No. Perhaps the emigrant? No again. Not even the poor, the homeless, the elderly, or the sick. No, the type of person who is the biggest drain on the economy is, the rich. Yes the rich are the biggest drain on the economy of any type of person, the reasoning is very simple. Even the upper middle class work, providing services and goods, while only having savings in the thousands, high thousands maybe, but thousands nonetheless. The rich however have savings in the millions or even billions of dollars, this is money which is completely removed from the economy, nobody is working for it, nobody is spending it, and the only people benefiting from it are the rich who happen to own banks. Look at Bill Gates as an example, he is currently worth an estimated $50,000,000,000 ask yourself how many lifetimes you could work at your current job for 50 billion dollars. Got an answer? Well that is how many jobs he has killed by hoarding more wealth than he could ever need. How many people in America alone have died of hunger, homelessness, or being unable to afford medicine or medical treatment while our plutocrats sit on golden thrones? While our schools are drained by constant budget cuts, the rich send their children to private schools where they receive a better education and healthier meals. While we are forced into debt to go to college to get a degree which might help us make a small amount more over an entire lifetime, those lucky enough to be born rich are sent to the best of schools the mere name of which will guarantee them nearly any job they apply for. That of course being if they even bother with a job instead of siphoning off of those who do work, which happens to be the favorite pastime of the rich. Instead of working themselves the vast majority of rich people prefer to make money by subcontracting, or hiring, people to do work and then taking a certain amount of the earnings, often the vast majority, as payment for the “privilege” of working for them.
