You are a lawyer, probably just barely in the top 1%. So people should be starving/be out of work, because they are to scared to gamble, which they have clearly been okay with doing in the past. (Thanks for a reasonable response turtle).
I also am a partner in an investment business and a general partner in a major league farming operation so you would be wrong.
I have not done anything to
1) cause people not to have a job
2) for people to "be starving"
3) to cause people to
a) drop out of school
b) do drugs
c) engage in criminal behavior
d) get knocked up and start spawning before they are in a stable married relationship
Those pathologies are far more responsible for people being impoverished than anything most of us in the top 1% (those making over about 380K a year) are doing.
Beloved (by the pillowheaded left) socialist George Soros and those billionaires like him-now they can manipulate economies, money value etc to cause people problems. Not most of us in that top one percent
