WIRED spoke with Gary as well as Princeton economist Atif Mian to debunk some commonly held beliefs about this nation’s…

Their solution is high taxation; fine, let’s go down that rabbit hole. That just gives the government more money, which is far more inefficient at channeling money back into the economy. The real solution is to worry less about the billionaires and why our government isn’t passing laws that benefit every day Americans, like free early child care and tax breaks.

Having been around and worked for a few very rich people including multi millionaires, I can say that these people are some of the cheapest people you will ever meet. The richer they get the more of a miser they turn into. They would try to save pennies on things that made no difference to a deal and spent enormous amounts of time on saving a few bucks, while blowing tones of money on other things. They would save money on people’s salary for example. Yeah very rich people don’t spend money like normal people and it’s not great.

Yep, this rings true with most multi-millionaires I’ve encountered. It’s almost like they read “The Millionaire Next Door” and were then told that if they didn’t remain ultra-stingy, they would lose all their wealth immediately.

Billionaires don’t stay billionaires by benefitting the economy. They do so by gaming every system and rule they can. After all, it’s trivial for a billionaire to hire a hundred lawyers, politicians, and accountants! How many of those can *you* afford?

A rise in interest rates in the US is already intensifying conflicts in Iran and elsewhere around the world.
Economic poverty is often the decisive seed of conflict and strife.
Since we cannot give people equality of outcome, we must at least do our best to ensure equality of opportunity.
I think the US interest rate hike is an irresponsible and reckless step that trampled on the hopes of ordinary people.
So, unless the US Federal Reserve changes its stance as soon as possible, international disputes are highly likely to intensify in the future.
Even if the United States is criticized by the world for causing international conflict, it will be difficult for the United States to have any more legitimacy or justification.
It is expected that the possibility of international conflicts and disputes will increase significantly due to the actions and decisions of the US Federal Reserve around the world.
This is a disaster.#

It’s really quite simple I feel. Money is information. Information to direct the economy to meet the needs of the people. When the people have the money they know what they want and they direct the economy to meet their needs. When the billionaires have all the money, even if they direct the economy to meet what they PERCEIVE to be the needs of the people, they’re still not going to know well as each individual 🤷♂️

Well, billionaires do create wealth and jobs, obviously, Microsoft and all of the tech companies and all of the people they employed and all of the technology entrepreneurs before them are why you’re watching this video in the first place and not out subsistence farming. Perhaps heirs to billionaires who are billionaires themselves may not ‘deserve’ what they got, they were just lucky enough to have billionaire parents. If you’re mad about them, are you also mad about lottery winners? Who are these experts they wasted time interviewing? They don’t seem to understand anything about economics.

When it is jobs for the undereducated that you get rid of you are setting up for revolutions and huge jumps in crime. What kind of person wants to get rid of jobs for this group by turning to robotics? A deeply stupid person, that’s who. And 60 persent of people think multibillionaires are a good thing? Well, I just hope that this 60 percent all invest in the stock market since that is the way most wealthy perple make the biggest part of their money – off investments by small investors.

This is one of the stupidest videos ever. Billionaires don’t have that big of an effect on the economy that is $14 *TRILLION* dollars! This current Biden government spends *$2.5 BILLION dollars every DAY!” It is the *government* that causes the most issues with the economy, such as *inflation.* Government wastes sooooo much money and spends us into soooooo much *DEBT* that the economy is barely hanging on by a thread! So how would confiscated money for high earners and throwing it into the government debt hole going to help the economy?? This is pure nonsense! The stats on the 1950s through 70s is nonsense because there were massive loopholes in the tax code that people would use to pay less than the 90+% that the government tried to confiscate.
This is nothing but more class warfare propaganda by socialists and Marxists . SMH .

The economic arguments are on level of 10 years old. Wired, you are done.

Well said, a few people having excessive wealth has no benefit to the economy. More Small and medium sized companies is what will create jobs.
