This article attempts to correlate money and power as well as provides hard data on income, wealth and tax.
I know you are likely aware of the way things are with money and 'power' in the US but i thought you may be interested to see this article anyways since it explains it so clearly and with specifics.
Also, this seems like a great article to forward to any friends or associates who argue that the poor just want a hand out and that the rich have worked hard to earn it. (obviously in some cases that is true but not by any means the whole truth)
I have nothing against people being rich (even insanely rich).
I do have something against people who rob me of my hard-earned, uhm, earnings by lowering the value of the currency I am forced to accept (unless I want to be tried for tax-evasion) by creating more currency poof out of thin air, and charging me (via the government and taxes) for the extra interest incurred when that (for all intents&purposes) virtual currency is created poof out of thin air due to a process called Fractional Reserve Banking. This is AKA Inflation.
The people who get rich based on that exponentially increasing ponzi-scheme (remember: the interest has to be created at interest too! headache) are the REAL PROBLEM, and all debt owed to them based on this, should be NULLIFIED!
I won't mind if they keep all their remaining wealth, as long as it was not created via this insane process.
Oh, and I want them tried before a jury of their peers. For whatever pops up (treason, fraud, etc.).
