The billionaires club is a lizard emporium of the feckless doom
No, I gave you the math problem with your argument. And I'm not complaining, you just made a terrible argument.But you are an idiot. You only want to complain.
You may be right, but personally I can't tell if there are more libertarians or just that they're attracted to online forums and social media so they seem more relevant than they are. I could be wrong, but I don't think there is an uptick voting wise, but they could be voting for extreme right wingers.I think a MAJOR reason libertarian thought is gaining popularity is because young people spend more and more of their waking hours in virtual environments.
Libertatianism works great... as long as you aren't worried about the real world where we have to share things like air and water.
I think extreme right wing views, particularly libertarianism, are gaining popularity with the high school/ college age geek crowd. Basically, it's Dungeons and Dragons for politics. I shudder at the ramifications.You may be right, but personally I can't tell if there are more libertarians or just that they're attracted to online forums and social media so they seem more relevant than they are.

Either way, there's no doubt that their extreme views are disasters in reality.
Every year, or every year since 2010? Why not 1999?
Someone already pointed out that the Dow Jones grew at a higher number. So, billionaires are under performing the market by that metric.
*you'reSo take your ass off the internet and go do something worth a million dollars. Then act wisely with your money for a generation or two, and maybe you’ll finally be one of the billionaires your so jealous of.
And after saving and investing for years she decided to use some of her equity to buy a house in 2006 ....If you consider daily compound interest and 700 extra invested every year, it will take 20 years for these 700 to become 76,523. But 50 years for it to become 4 million.
Your problem is you're thinking in Black and White terms. You think that just because people point out the system is rigged that equals jealousy.
Maybe it's not as simple as you think. Maybe I'm actually living quite comfortably but I also recognize that people less fortunate than me get exploited. Maybe I'm just as smart as many billionaires but certain circumstances (like health, luck, etc.) prevent people like me from becoming billionaires.
Open your mind a little bit and you'll understand the world isn't that simple. If it were we would all be billionaires.
This thread is about the rate of wage growth vs the rate of wealth growth of billionaires since 2010. I simply demonstrated that anyone can invest money and achieve the same rate of return as the billionaires. Do you have $100? You can invest it.
Beat it with ya straw man rubbish.
Lol you troll. Did you read my post?
It says annually. Billionaires are getting those kinds of returns each year.
You failed to understand my argument then proceeded to list your complaints about why its unfair that rich people are rich. This is bit how a debate works.No, I gave you the math problem with your argument. And I'm not complaining, you just made a terrible argument.
It seems like you're limited to personal attacks and not a real defense of what you said, so feel free to continue eating Tide pods, but maybe you should stay out of discussions like this.
Lol you troll. Did you read my post?
Ppl like you aren't poor because billionaires are evil and the system is stacked against you, you're poor because you're retarded and actually can't read.
No it's not going to change your life. But your wealth is growing at the same 14% as the rich peoples'. If you continue then somewhere along the line your grand kids or great grand kids will be the rich billionaires who inherited everything and never worked for it that all the poor losers love whinging about.If you invest $100 a year for 10 years, and the stock market has 14% growth per year... by the end of the 10 years you will have roughly around $2500. Less if you factor in inflation and taxes . Do you think that's a significant enough amount to change someones life after a decade?
Obviously if you have more money to invest its a completely different story, and that's the point.
Keep hating rich people, i hear it pays well!
