The Filthy Filthy Rich

Here is a link to the list of the 468 individuals that are billionaires. Some are good people, trying to do things positive for mankind and helping the poor, misfortunate, handicapped, aged, displaced, and ill in our communities, nations, and society. But an awful, probably a majority, are doing just the opposite -- nothing -- and simply spending their lives counting their money, gloating, and participating daily in The Seven Deadly Sins in a wide variety of ways. The vast majority are old white men over the age of 65 living in the "West", i.e., United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and other nations in western Europe. But a growing number are younger men under the age of 50 living in emerging nations in Eastern Europe, Asia, Latin America, and elsewhere.

The list is probably rife with inaccuracies as well as missing some names.

The more money these individuals lose or forfeit, the better America and the planet will be. It does zero good to have individuals with this kind of wealth, as anything more than about $5 million is ridiculous and epitomizes greed, sin, arrogance, and debauchery. Wealthy people like these are akin to sexual predators.
