Rich People

Today I'd like to say a little bit about rich people. Not, gee I can afford to go out to eat every night at a fancy restaurant rich. I mean really, really rich. I mean this rich:

1. William Gates III, U.S., 48, $46.6, Microsoft
2. Warren Buffett, U.S., 73, $42.9, Berkshire Hathaway
3. Karl Albrecht, Germany, 84, $23, supermarkets
4. Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud, Saudi Arabia, 47, $21.5, investments
5. Paul Allen, U.S., 51, $21, Microsoft, investments
6. Alice Walton, U.S., 55, $20, Wal-Mart
6. Helen Walton, U.S., 84, $20, Wal-Mart
6. Jim Walton, U.S., 56, $20, Wal-Mart
6. John Walton, U.S., 58, $20, Wal-Mart
6. S. Robson Walton, U.S., 60, $20, Wal-Mart

These numbers are in BILLIONS. You notice these people are almost all from the US. In the United States there are 275 billionaires whose worth combines for 908 BILLION. That's a lotta meatballs! I want to focus especially on #6. The Wal-mart family. Wal-mart sucks. They don't pay their managers shit. They refuse to allow unions. They've been responsible for the loss of literally millions of small business jobs. The family's worth combines for 100 Billion dollars. Since the current world population is around 6 billion the Wal-mart family has the cash to buy every single person on the planet earth a Value Meal at McDonalds.
Or even better. This one stupid family could end world hunger. All by themselves. It's the least they could do to make up for their staggering greed.
What will it cost to feeed the world? According to the UN it will take an estimated $5 billion a year to solve world hunger. Together they could make sure no one on the entire planet starved for twenty years!! When people complain about the tax cuts for the rich, THESE are the people we are talking about. Rich people are not a family making a combined 150,000 dollars a year. Rich is 5 million and above. Rich is Billions. And there aren't that many of these people. A few thousand in a world of billions. Are we really still so naive to even suggest there are a few thousand people who deserve to be worth a Billion dollars? They aren't. No one is.
I'm not a socialist or a capitalist. (I think there should be a hybrid. Food, clothing, shelter, health care, education is socialized, everything else can be capitalism) But we need to revoke inheritance laws for amounts over, I don't know, 20 million dollars a person. If you cannot live on 20 million, you'all can kiss my ass.
