I don't think the rich would be destroyed by having only 5 houses instead of
10.  Or 10 cars instead of 20.  Or 3 servants, instead of 10.  Poor guy.
 How will he EVER get by having 8 figures in the bank instead of 9.

It's a shame you don't see the value in investing in the prosperity of
humanity, after all, there's a selfish motive to it as well.

little 'average' guy.

Which is ironic.  Since the ultra-elite run the TV networks that foster that
very response throughout the world, lest we turn our attention on the
unbelievable inequality causing this whole thing to begin with.

 It's the 'others' I wonder about.

Absolutely.  Who's asking for a handout?  I'm asking for an equal
opportunity is all.  What?  It's ok to spend TRILLION$ killing each other,
just not helping each other?  Sociopath?
