Defeating Useless Rich People
The truth is that very very few rich people actually earned - and
by that I mean working at a job that leaves you physically exhausted at
the end of the day, the kind of job the 99 percent do - the money they
have. If they didn't inherit it, they got it as "rentiers" which is
just a fancy word for sitting back and eating bon-bons while the
interest and dividends from your investments roll in.
And by "investments" I mean exploiting working people, eliminating their jobs, stealing their homes.From Firedoglake:
How does society rid itself of “useless rich people”, the Rentiers? Raising “capital gains taxes on rentiers” and extending “public ownership to today’s out-of-control, predatory rentiers in higher education, health care, and–most of all–finance.”People who don't work and are poor are a problem society needs to solve. But people who don't work but are rich are an abomination society must eliminate.
