So what you’re saying is taking money away from CEOs isn’t immoral because they’l just get it all back. Therefore there is no need for stealing from the rich to be illegal, right?

RIGHT?

We should take their money then. It helps us, and it doesn’t hurt the rich since they’ll just get it back and then we can take it again. Everybody wins.

Being born into the beginning of globalization.

You could become a billionaire by going “huh no one is importing X. I guess I’ll import X!”

Getting lucky

When I tell people that rich people get rich because it’s 90% luck and 10% “work” they look at you like you’re crazy. People really underestimate being in the right place right time and knowing the right people, or just being born to rich parents.

As a Marxist I can think of a simple way to test this hypothesis.

The fact that your zip code can better predict your future wealth than the amount of time you worked is not enough for these folks.

They’ll sooner start investigating magnetic anomalies in gated communities and attaching magnets to their temples
